The Property

The Beeches is an individually designed detached home, built in 2015 to the current owners’ specification and set within a private greenbelt plot approaching 1.5 acres. Designed with an Arts and Crafts influence, the house has a distinctive architectural presence, with rendered elevations, carefully proportioned windows and a Vermont Green slate roof imported from New England.

Inside, the accommodation extends to approximately 5,643 sq ft across three floors. The entrance hall makes an immediate impression, with a bespoke English oak and glass staircase rising through the centre of the house beneath contemporary chandelier lighting. The interior has been finished with a strong level of detail, combining calm natural tones, statement finishes and modern technology throughout.

The ground floor includes a formal lounge of notable scale, arranged with space for a grand piano and centred around a wood-burning stove. To the rear, the house opens into an expansive kitchen, dining and family space, designed for everyday living and entertaining. The handcrafted kitchen includes dark timber-grained cabinetry, stone-toned work surfaces, a large central island, Neff appliances, warming drawers and a flush ceiling extractor. Bi-folding doors open to two elevations, linking the kitchen and family space directly with the terrace and gardens.

Alongside the main living spaces, the ground floor also includes a dedicated cinema room with acoustic walls and fibre optic constellation ceiling, a gymnasium with mirrored wall and French doors to the outside, a fitted utility room, a separate boot room and guest cloakrooms.

The first floor is arranged around a generous galleried landing. The principal suite occupies the rear of the house and includes a large bedroom, dressing room, private balcony overlooking the gardens and a statement en-suite bathroom with twin basins, feature bath and layered lighting. A second suite is reached from its own galleried landing above the family room and includes a bedroom and en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

There is a further double bedroom on the first floor, along with a shower room and a fitted study. The top floor forms a self-contained guest suite, with a bedroom area, additional sleeping or living space, fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. This gives the house excellent flexibility for guests, older children, extended family or live-in support.

Externally

The Beeches is approached through wrought iron gates onto a sweeping carriage driveway, with generous parking and a strong sense of arrival. The house sits within a mature, private plot approaching 1.5 acres, with formal gardens, sweeping lawns, established hedging and trees providing a high degree of seclusion.

To the rear, a substantial porcelain terrace runs across the width of the house, connecting directly with the kitchen, dining and family space through the bi-folding doors. The terrace includes a sunken hot tub, planted borders and slate-dressed beds, with the lawn extending beyond.

An oak-framed outdoor kitchen and entertaining pavilion sits within the garden, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, stone worktops, sink, integrated lighting, heating and a wall-mounted screen. The wider grounds also include a paddock, offering scope for ponies, an orchard, wildflower meadow or additional garden space.

The detached garage block extends to approximately 1,517 sq ft and includes a garage of over 45 ft, with space for up to four cars, a workshop or storage. The building also includes a boiler room and WC. To the rear is a dedicated home office with bi-folding doors opening to the gardens, creating a separate working space away from the main house.
