Spacious 1930s detached house on 1.75 acre plot with triple garage and studio.
Five bedrooms, four bathrooms in main house
Beechcroft is a distinguished 1930s country house set in about 1.75 acres of formal gardens and woodland, less than two miles from Romsey town centre and close to Embley School. The main residence provides spacious, character-filled rooms with high ceilings, bay sash windows and a large kitchen/breakfast room opening to a breakfast deck. A triple-aspect principal suite with dressing room and balcony sits alongside four further bedrooms and generous reception space, well suited to family life.
The plot is a major asset: formal lawns, specimen trees (including a prominent beech), woodland and two separate vehicular accesses. Ancillary buildings include a substantial detached triple garage with a self-contained studio and shower room above, a further oak-framed double garage, workshop and kennel — useful for home office, guest or teenager accommodation and substantial storage.
Practical details are clear: the house is freehold, approximately 2,896 sq ft, oil-fired boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and cavity walls assumed uninsulated. Broadband is fast and there is no flood risk. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood with average crime and mobile signal.
There is realistic scope to adapt or enlarge: the large roof space may allow further accommodation subject to planning consents. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of period houses and consider insulation and oil-heating running costs when assessing long-term expenditure.
