Beechwood House, Moor Lane, Stamford Bridge, York YO41 1HU

Beechwood House is a particularly fine example of a period country house. The house, built in the late 18th century, is a traditional Yorkshire farmhouse and there is a substantial modern rear extension, as well as the detached outbuildings. The present owners have carried out a complete and comprehensive programme of restoration and modernisation and the large breakfast kitchen is spectacular. Windows are double glazed, there are stripped wood and York stone floors, a new central heating system with pressurised hot water, and panelled doors.

Outside
The front of the house stands well back from the village road behind hedging and its own grounds. A sweeping block paved drive is lined with hornbeam trees, and this leads past the outbuildings to a turning area in front of the house. The garden is mainly to the front and is divided into thoughtful areas of borders and lawn which opens out onto mature grounds shadowed by mature beech trees. The house enjoys wonderful views across open countryside. The large natural lake, which is the highlight of the grounds, is fed by a borehole and is stocked with fish. To the side of the pond is a large wooden summerhouse with a decked area. This is served by electric and is currently used as a gym. There are terraces to the side and the rear and a stock pond.
