Beechcroft Close, Twyford

THE PROPERTY An exceptionally well-presented detached family home, enjoying a wonderfully peaceful and private position in one of Twyford's most desirable residential settings.

Tucked away off Bourne Lane, Beechcroft Close is an exclusive collection of just seven individual homes constructed by the respected developers Antler Homes in 2006. The property has been lovingly maintained by its original owners and offers an appealing combination of traditional architectural character, generous proportions and beautifully appointed accommodation.

Approached along a pathway flanked by lawns and established planting, the attractive red-brick elevations, twin bay windows and welcoming entrance porch create an excellent first impression. The sense of quality continues inside, where a spacious central reception hall provides an elegant introduction to the house, with its handsome oak staircase and natural wood flooring.

The ground floor accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide an excellent balance of formal reception rooms and relaxed family living spaces.

Undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house is the impressive kitchen/dining room, a wonderfully sociable space extending across the rear of the property. Generously proportioned and filled with natural light, this superb room provides ample space for cooking, dining and informal relaxation, making it ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and its attractive outdoor surroundings, particularly during the warmer months. A separate utility room provides valuable additional storage and laundry facilities, together with independent access to the outside.

The spacious sitting room is another particularly appealing feature, with its attractive bay window, feature gas fireplace and generous proportions providing an inviting setting for both everyday relaxation and more formal entertaining.

A separate snug, positioned towards the rear of the house, offers a delightful additional reception room with doors opening directly onto the garden. This versatile space is ideal as a cosy television room, children's playroom or peaceful retreat.

Completing the ground floor is a well-proportioned study with an attractive bay window, providing an excellent environment for home working, together with a conveniently positioned cloakroom.

Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing leads to five bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the accommodation offering considerable flexibility for families of all ages.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, enjoying lovely views over the garden and featuring plantation shutters, a generous walk-in dressing room and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom with both a separate bath and spacious double shower.

There are four further bedrooms, one benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, also fitted with a separate bath and shower. Two of the bedrooms are currently arranged as a home office and a craft room, demonstrating the adaptability of the accommodation to suit individual requirements.
Throughout the house, the excellent standard of presentation reflects the care and attention lavished upon the property by its owners since new, creating a home that feels both welcoming and exceptionally well maintained.

Outside
The property occupies a delightful plot extending to approximately 0.20 acres, with the gardens providing a particularly attractive and private setting.

To the front, an established lawn, neatly maintained hedging and mature planting complement the handsome elevations of the house, while the secluded position within this small development contributes to a wonderful sense of peace and privacy.
The beautifully landscaped rear garden provides an ideal environment for outdoor living, with a generous, paved terrace immediately adjoining the kitchen/dining/family room. Perfectly positioned for summer dining, barbecues and entertaining, the terrace leads onto the lawn, bordered by established shrubs and planting which provide colour, interest and a pleasing degree of seclusion.

Parking provision is another notable advantage of the property, with a substantial detached double garage fitted with electric up-and-over doors, together with two allocated off-road parking spaces. The garage offers excellent space for vehicles, storage and other practical requirements.
