Built in the 1920s, Beacon House has been enhanced and up-graded across the years to provide a stunning, light-filled home which combines modern and classical décor. On entering the generous reception hall, the mellow hues of wood flooring and the impressive wooden split staircase gives a flavour of the grandeur of the accommodation within this substantial property. Double doors open into a refined sitting room with decorative fireplace and French doors to the garden, whilst on the opposite side of the hallway, a formal dining room offers the ideal space to host family and friends. There is also a family room and a well-appointed study, with both providing doors to the garden. Fitted with modern cabinetry the kitchen has units which create a divide to the adjoining breakfast room where glazed doors offer a link from the inside to the outside.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the two upper floors, with the lofty landing on the first level giving access to four bedrooms, three with en suites, and a family bathroom. Two further bedrooms can be found on the second floor, alongside a large loft storage room. Leisure opportunities are provided by a spacious games room and an indoor swimming pool.

This property has 1.74 acres of land.

Outside

Nestled within grounds surrounded by mature trees, the garden at Beacon House offers an outdoor sanctuary in about 1.74 acres, with features including walkways through woodland, swathes of lawn interspersed with specimen trees and deep borders filled with a colourful collection of shrubs and perennial plants. Paved terracing adjoins the house with direct access from reception areas and the pool room offering opportunities for outdoor entertaining and relaxation whilst enjoying the south-easterly, or south-westerly aspects. There is also a fully enclosed hard tennis court, whilst a summerhouse offers a sheltered spot to sit and relax. The property is approached via wrought-iron gates set in brick pillars, onto a length of driveway which leads to the frontage of the house and gives access to the triple garaging.
