Description
Occupying an enviable position in the centre of the popular village of Beckermet, this impressive detached period property offers beautifully presented and highly flexible accommodation arranged over four floors.

The layout is particularly well suited to family life and offers excellent potential for multi generational living.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway, cosy lounge with wood burning stove and original shutters, and a snug providing additional reception space or fourth bedroom. At the heart of the home is a stunning country style dining kitchen featuring a traditional Esse stove and ample space for family dining. From here there is access to an extended part of the property which includes a striking reception room with apex beams and a further wood burning stove. This area also benefits from a utility room, boot room and shower room, making it ideal for use as ancillary accommodation for a dependent relative if required. The ground floor is completed by a WC, which is accessed via a small landing from the dining kitchen, along with an air conditioned basement room, currently used as a gym.
A traditional staircase with an attractive full length arched window leads to the first floor, where there are three generously sized double bedrooms, all tastefully decorated, along with a luxurious four piece family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms provide access to a large attic room which, subject to reconfiguration, offers potential for an additional bedroom depending on a buyer’s needs. Externally, the property enjoys beautifully enclosed lawned gardens to both the front and rear, with the front garden particularly notable for its clemetis which provides a stunning display during the late spring.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful family home in a highly desirable village location. Internal inspection is highly recommended.
