Description

Beckbury House is a particularly attractive family home with elegant accommodation which is beautifully presented throughout and which has been finished to the highest of standards.

The principal part of Beckbury House is believed to date from the Georgian era, possibly with earlier origins at its core and has been skilfully extended over the years to greatly enhance the scope of accommodation provided. There is the potential to utilise the existing layout to form a two storey annex making the property ideal for multi generational occupancy.

Unusually for a property of this nature in Beckbury the residence stands within extensive grounds with a shielded frontage, delightful garden to the rear and a paddock beyond. There is a total area of approximately 1.15 acres.

The level of appointment is exquisite with stylish kitchen and sanitaryware, double glazing virtually throughout and extremely tasteful, neutral décor.
