House For Sale £1,150,000
A handsome period house with generous south-facing gardens in a desirable and convenient position.
Becks is situated in the village of Hanbury, surrounded by National Trust-owned park and farmland. The village is well known as the location of Hanbury Hall, a delightful Queen Anne mansion, a historically important parish church, a well-regarded first school and the Jinney Ring Craft Centre. The country lanes provide excellent access for horse and bike riding, and there is an array of footpaths crossing the Hanbury Estate and Dodderhill Common.
The Property
Becks offers spacious accommodation that flows from one room to the next, with high ceilings, leaded windows, and a mullioned bay window. The property and grounds are well maintained but offer scope for modernisation and extension, subject to planning and approval from the National Trust.
Becks' front door opens to the entrance hall. A panelled staircase with a generous understairs coat cupboard leads up to a galleried bridge landing. A cloakroom is located to the right of the hall.
The drawing room has a fine sandstone fireplace housing an LPG gas stove. Large double wood doors open from the drawing room to the study, which can also be accessed from the entrance hall, creating a superb entertaining space with a window seat in the mullioned square bay window.
A door from the drawing room opens to a large conservatory, which in turn has a door to the breakfast room. French doors in the drawing room open on to the terrace, another superb entertaining space.
The large dining room is conveniently adjacent to the kitchen and has a feature fireplace and door to a side boot room/utility room with space for a washer dryer, and a side entrance door. From the dining room is access to the tanked cellar.
The fitted pine kitchen has granite worktops and an AGA set in a feature arched recess with space for further appliances. The kitchen flows through to the breakfast room with another feature, an arched recess, which can also be accessed from the entrance hall.
The turning staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing. The principal bedroom suite has a large double bedroom with a door to a balcony overlooking the rear garden, dressing area and an en suite with a corner bath and shower cubicle as well as a door to a linen cupboard.
There are three further double bedrooms, two of which have feature fireplaces, served by a family bathroom.
Gardens and grounds
A 5-bar gate opens to gravel parking in front of a detached double garage with electric doors. A paved path flanked by dwarfed box hedging crosses the lawn in front of the house to the entrance porch.
The large, rear, south-facing, lawned garden is very private. Accessed from either the drawing room or conservatory is a large paved terrace offering a fantastic spot for al fresco dining.
Interspersed throughout the garden are a range of mature shrubs, perennial plants, deciduous trees, oak, horse chestnut and sycamore, and an orchard of fruit trees, apple, pear, plum, damson and greengage.
Within the rear garden is a small feature raised pond and a quaint, timber-clad garden store, once an old piggery, with a pitched, tiled roof and exposed internal timber frame.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. LPG gas-fired central heating.
