Description

Beech House, Swinton is an impressive Grade C Listed property with a super woodland backdrop, lovingly tended garden and a rich history! Dating back to 1890, the detached property was formerly the village police house, and has been upgraded over the years to host a characterful four bedroom family home with three spacious public rooms.

Beech House - Nestled within the popular village of Swinton, Beech House offers a rare opportunity to embrace village living at its finest—where a strong sense of community, a well-regarded local primary school, and easy connections to surrounding towns come together in perfect balance.

This charming C Listed former police house has been carefully reimagined to create a home that beautifully blends period character with the ease and comfort of modern living. Original features sit alongside thoughtful upgrades, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and welcoming.

Designed with flexibility in mind, Beech House lends itself to a variety of lifestyles—whether as a spacious family home, a welcoming base for extended family, or an inviting space for hosting guests. The wraparound gardens are a true highlight, bordered by a picturesque woodland edge and the recently added timber garden room provides a peaceful, sun-filled spot—ideal for relaxing, working, or hobbies.

Inside, the ground floor offers a series of inviting living spaces. The dual-aspect drawing room, centred around a recently installed log-burning stove, creates a cosy setting for quieter moments, while the dining room across the hall—with its unique former jail cell feature—adds a touch of history and conversation. At the heart of the home lies the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and garden room. Styled in a relaxed farmhouse aesthetic, this sociable space flows seamlessly into the gardens beyond, making it perfect for everything from laid-back family gatherings to social get-togethers with friends. A well-appointed kitchen, complemented by a utility and laundry room, ensures practicality matches style.

A generous ground floor bedroom provides a restful space, complete with its own en-suite cloakroom, while a beautifully refitted contemporary shower room serves
the rest of the floor.

Upstairs, three further double bedrooms offer comfortable and private accommodation, two benefiting from their own en-suite facilities—ideal for family living or hosting overnight guests in comfort.
