Description
Classic Georgian symmetry, elegant deep sash windows and intricate cornicing lie in wait as you ascend the steps and cross the threshold into the entrance hall, a room that clearly knows what a dramatic first impression needs to be and nails it. Discover two reception rooms to the front, ideal for a home office, snug or more space for a family to spread into. Drenched with a dramatic Indian Red colour scheme, the dining room makes quite the statement, heightened by the vast sash window inviting the light to pour through onto the elegant marble fireplace.
Notably our favourite room of the entire house, the sitting room. Inviting in views over the pond and walled gardens and deluging the room with Autumnal light, the twin aspect floor to ceiling sash windows complete with panelled shutters are utterly mesmerising. A discreet nod to the owners' creative flourishes, what appears to be a stylish cabinet to one side of the grand fireplace, transpires to be a secret exit to the gardens, quite the party piece we think. Whilst this may be ours and one of the previous owners most favoured rooms, the kitchen proved to be another treasured space too. Designed to simplify functionality whilst remaining the social heart of this home, the island unit combines both practicality and style with the black granite worksurfaces which really packs a punch contrasting the vibrant blue feature wall.
Now, two essential rooms every Georgian manor needs, expansive utility cum laundry room complete with Pantry - check, and a cellar with plenty of cobwebs - also check.
Rising upwards, either via the servants stairwell or the grand main staircase, upstairs will continue to delight. With vast proportions mirroring the sitting room, the principal suite is nothing short of expansive with more enchanting views over the surrounding gardens. Another pop of fun in the form of electric blue and lime green, the en-suite bathroom is another graciously sized room, just a perfect balance.
Four more double bedrooms can be discovered from the winding landing in addition to the family bath suite and separate loo.
More than any singular element, it is the simplicity of the scale and atmosphere which makes this home so distinctive. You can feel the sense of living, breathing cultural history within the very fabric of this building and it is simply intoxicating. Frankly put, it is without question one of the most remarkable homes we have ever step foot in.
Outside
Occupying an elevated position beyond the sweeping driveway and fairly central to the half an acre plot, the front elevation dressed in its grey-blue hue offers a notably distinctive curb appeal.
Wrapped in beautifully landscaped gardens and framed by aging Oak trees, the more you explore outside the more you find, from the quaint pond and secret walled gardens to the rear, to the dining terraces once staging infamous family gatherings over the decades.
Some important bits to consider...
The Beeches is a fine Grade II listed home, built in 1829 and later extended in the late 1800's.

Two neighbouring properties to the left are granted right of way over the driveway.
