Set in an elevated position on about 1.34 acres, Beech Cottage is a large, versatile family home offering more than 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and far-reaching countryside views. The house has five bedrooms, extensive reception space including a 28ft sitting room and 29ft kitchen/breakfast room, plus a recently completed self-contained annexe and guest accommodation above the double garage — ideal for multi-generational living or long-stay visitors.
Outdoor living is a standout: a newly built heated swimming pool with an equipped pool house, terraces for alfresco dining, paddock, loose box and mature gardens give genuine scope for family recreation, hobbies and entertaining. The plot’s size and layout provide privacy and room for children, pets and small-scale equestrian use.
Practical, energy-focused features include 10kW solar panels and a AAA-rated air-source heat pump that heats the pool; the property also benefits from good mobile signal and very low local crime. That said, the home has some important practical points to note: heating is currently oil-fired for parts of the house, drainage is private, broadband speeds are very slow in this location, and a neighbouring property has a right of access over the edge of the paddock.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful country house suited to families or those seeking lifestyle space and ancillary income potential from the annexe and guest wing. Buyers should factor in likely running costs (council tax is described as quite expensive) and confirm utilities and service details during survey and offer stage.
