About this property

Overlooking the churchyard, Grade II Listed Beaconsfield House is a fine example of Georgian architecture with a handsome, symmetrical Ashlar frontage and elegantly proportioned rooms.

From the moment you enter you cannot fail to be impressed by the proportions of the rooms and the simplicity of the layout typical of the Georgian era and epitomised by the entrance hall with tessellated flooring and a staircase bearing a hardwood handrail that winds its way from the first step to the top of the house. The drawing room has shuttered sash windows and a cast iron fireplace flanked by display shelves whilst the dining room has a wood burning stove and patterned wood block flooring. The family room opens to the vaulted kitchen/breakfast room that is fitted with a range of units topped by granite and wood surfaces with a La Cornue range at its heart. The sitting room features a contemporary stove and has a door opening to the rear terrace. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite) on the first floor with two bedrooms and shower room on the top floor most of which offer charming views over the valley.

Outside
The garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by stone walls with specimen trees including pleached beech trees and clipped evergreen and beech hedges. A paved terrace offers the perfect setting for al fresco entertaining. There is parking and garaging for several vehicles accessed off New Street.
