About this listing

An unusual period home in the heart of Beckington’s conservation area, recently refurbished throughout and offering well-proportioned accommodation, a beautiful kitchen/diner and an enclosed walled garden. The house is entered through an attractive double-fronted section of the façade, where the character of the property is immediately apparent. The entrance hall has the staircase directly ahead, with the reception rooms either side. To the right is a lovely sitting room, centred around a wood burner, while to the left is a second reception room with built-in cupboards and attractive dual-aspect windows, with views both towards the front and across the garden to the rear. The second reception room leads through to a useful boot room, providing a practical space for coats, shoes and countryside equipment, with access continuing through the house. A traditional bathroom is located along the hallway and has been thoughtfully fitted with a classic suite, including a roll-top bath. Beyond this is the real centrepiece of the home: a stunning kitchen/diner with plenty of space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the garden and terrace, allowing the kitchen and outside space to work particularly well together during the warmer months. Upstairs are three good-sized double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are served by a Jack-and-Jill WC, providing useful facilities without compromising the bedroom accommodation. Throughout the property, the current occupants have created a tasteful and cohesive interior, combining wooden flooring and period character with a clean, contemporary finish. The result is a home that retains much of its original charm while offering the comfort and practicality expected of a modern house. The enclosed walled garden provides a lovely degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully arranged into different areas. A patio terrace sits to one side of the house, while a separate decked platform provides another place to sit and enjoy the garden. Between the two is a good-sized area of lawn, bordered by mature planting which gives the garden a well-established feel. Driveway parking is available. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION All mains services are connected. The neighbour has a right of way across the back of the garden to access bins.
