Set behind electric gates on a private drive, Beech House is a rare Grade II listed Georgian country residence occupying around seven acres. Extending to about 9,268 sq ft, the house combines formal reception rooms, a bespoke orangery and a high‑spec kitchen with extensive entertaining space. A self‑contained annexe with cinema and an imposing five‑car garage add practical flexibility for guests, staff or multi‑generational living.
The principal accommodation offers eight bedrooms across three floors, several with en-suite facilities and walk‑in dressing rooms, plus a cosy cinema, games room and separate gym/office outbuildings. High‑quality finishes and modern appliances feature throughout, while period proportions, fireplaces and bay windows retain authentic Georgian character.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and chain free, but its Grade II listing will impose constraints on external and internal alterations and may complicate some works. Council tax is very expensive for this scale of home, and parts of the fabric (stone walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and double glazing of unknown age) suggest potential thermal and maintenance costs to bring the house to current efficiency standards.
For buyers seeking a prestigious family estate or private country residence close to Horsforth amenities and schools, this home offers exceptional privacy, scale and versatile outbuildings. The plot and internal layout suit entertaining, hobby collections and home working, while the listing and size mean specialist professional oversight will be required for any major change.
