Branstone Beck House is a spacious period semi-detached home set in a peaceful countryside hamlet, offering generous rooms and mature gardens. The house retains many original features — high ceilings, decorative cornices, stained glass and dual-aspect bay windows — that give it character and warmth. With two large double bedrooms and scope to reconfigure into a third, the layout suits growing families or those needing flexible space.
Externally the property sits on a large wraparound plot with mature planting and room for 3–4 off-street parking spaces. The sizable kitchen/diner, pantry and utility provide practical family living, while the grand sitting room offers an elegant entertaining space. The property is sale freehold and offered with no onward chain, which could speed a move for a buyer prepared to act.
There are some important considerations: the EPC rating is F and heating is via electric storage heaters (a Rayburn and oil central heating are also referenced), so energy efficiency and heating arrangements may need review or investment. The building is a pre-1900 stone construction with assumed no wall insulation and an older roof showing external wear — maintenance and possible upgrading should be expected.
This home suits buyers seeking period character and a sizeable private garden in an affluent, low-crime rural setting. It presents clear renovation potential: cosmetic refreshes and energy-efficiency upgrades would increase comfort and value, while the generous plot offers scope for landscaping or reconfiguration.
