House For Sale £700,000
A handsome detached property with the advantage of a large plot which includes outbuildings and a 18th century Folly.
The four bedroom property forms part of an exclusive development of similarly sized homes, built in what once was part of a large Beckwith family estate home from which the development takes its name.
The property itself is accessed at the front via a storm porch with oak framework and pitched tiled roof and opens into a large entrance hallway off which are the principal reception rooms as well as a WC/cloakroom. The dining / kitchen / family room spans the depth of the house offering an ideal space for modern family living. The kitchen itself boasts a series of matching wall and base units with a range cooker and integrated drinks fridge and dishwasher.
Off the kitchen is a handy utility room with sink, washing machine, fridge freezer and provision for a dryer. Also accessed directly from the kitchen is a conservatory / garden room.
To the other side of the entrance hallway is the spacious lounge which centres around a log burning stove. To the rear of the lounge are recently fitted sliding doors which directly access the conservatory.
Stairs off the hallway lead to a first-floor landing off which are four really well-proportioned bedrooms. The second bedroom has built in wardrobes, as does the Master which also boasts an en-suite bathroom. A family shower room completes the internal accommodation, along with the loft space which has been partially boarded with lighting and accessed via a drop down ladder.
Externally, the house is approached via a private access, shared only by the residents of the exclusive development of four houses which makes up Beckwith Hall Drive, formally part of the land of Beckwith Hall Estate.
The house itself has a driveway wide enough to fit 3 or 4 vehicles and leads to a double width garage/workshop with recently fitted electric roller door, with ladder to access an old hay-barn, now used for storage. The garage is attached to further outbuildings which include 2 stores, a games room and a large garden workroom/store. These outbuildings have formally been granted outline planning permission for conversion into an annex and have the potential for various uses.
The rear garden is fortunate to enjoy a south westerly aspect, ideal for the sun all day into the evening. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with patio / walkway paving and raised decked seating area, ideal to enjoy al-fresco dining. As well as the garden is a unique section of land in which there is an 18th century Folly once belonging to the Beckwith Hall estate. The Folly has been lovingly restored by the current owners and offers a unique focal point to the garden as well as a superb seating area.
