Beckside, Cawthorne, S75

Welcome to Beckside, Cawthorne, an exceptional detached home set behind electric gates in the heart of this highly sought after village, occupying a private position within a small and exclusive development of individually designed homes.

Offering generous and versatile accommodation arranged over a split-level layout, this impressive property combines a sophisticated finish with an abundance of space, natural light and an outstanding connection to the gardens.

The layout has been thoughtfully designed around modern family life, with particularly impressive open plan living areas providing a great flow between the kitchen, living and dining spaces and directly towards the rear garden.

A particular highlight is the superb open plan living kitchen, which has been extensively refitted to a high specification. A beautifully appointed shaker style kitchen is complemented by a matching central island and quartz work surfaces, creating a luxurious yet practical space at the heart of the home. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious living area, where a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams adds character and a log burning multi-fuel stove creates a natural focal point. From here, the open plan arrangement continues through to the dining area, making this a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining, with the garden beyond providing a natural extension to the living accommodation.

The remainder of the accommodation is equally versatile, with four bedrooms arranged across the split-level layout, including two bedrooms with dressing rooms and en-suite facilities.

There is a further study, utility room and cloakroom, while the additional room adjoining the dining area provides useful flexibility as a fifth bedroom, home office, playroom or second sitting room depending on requirements.

The generous proportions and arrangement of the accommodation make the property particularly well suited to families, while the quality of the principal living spaces also lends itself perfectly to entertaining.

The property occupies a private plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre, with electric gates opening into the development and a substantial driveway providing parking alongside a double garage. The rear garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect and provides an attractive combination of lawn, established trees, shrubs and planted borders, together with patio and paved areas for outdoor seating and entertaining. The position gives the house a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining within the village itself.
