Description

Beauvale House is a stunning Grade II* Listed period home standing within a prominent position, set in extremely well maintained gardens and grounds. The property was designed by famous architect E W Godwin in an old English revival style and was completed in 1873 for the 7th Earl Cowper and also has historic connections with D H Lawrence, being believed to be the setting for Lady Chatterley's Lover. In more recent times the property has become a superb family home, having been occupied by the current owners for over 20 years.

The property has been subject to a full course of careful restoration, which has preserved the original features of the property whilst enhancing it with modern and convenient facilities.

The ground floor accommodation is accessed through a gothic style arched entrance door, which leads up to the main reception hall, with panelling to walls and ceiling and gives access to two principal impressive reception rooms, being a drawing room and dining room, both having views over the garden.

A fully fitted antique pine kitchen sits at the heart of this home, with granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances, which leads into an impressive Victorian style garden room with two pairs of French doors leading to the garden. An inner hall gives access to a cloakroom, utility room and snug, as well as stairs leading down to an impressive snooker room.

The ground floor of this property retains a wealth of original features including feature fireplaces with original tiles, leaded windows and high ceilings, all retaining the elegance and grace typical of the era of construction.

An impressive staircase gives access to the first floor, where a central landing gives access to a generous master bedroom with ensuite, dressing room, guest bedroom with ensuite, further bedroom, family bathroom, as well as a study. The second floor provides three further bedrooms and a further family bathroom. From the second floor a winding staircase gives access to the observation tower with period fireplace and further spiral staircase which leads up to the observation room and continues opening onto a turret giving extensive views in all directions.
