The Property
Beechcroft is a fine example of a granite built
Victorian property which sits in just under 1 acre
of gardens and grounds. The accommodation
is bright and spacious with period features,
including high ceilings and original fireplaces.
The house benefits from being unlisted and has
double glazed windows throughout. The house
would benefit from some modernisation to
create a beautiful and flexible family home.
The accommodation on the ground floor
comprises of an entrance hall with stairs to the
first floor, a sitting room with a bay window and an
original open fireplace, a dining room with another
fireplace, a study, a dual aspect kitchen/breakfast
room with wooden fitted units, a utility room with
rear door access to the garden and a shower
room. Upstairs are five good sized bedrooms, the
two largest enjoying fantastic views from the bay
windows, and two family bathrooms.
Outside
Beechcroft has an attractive level garden to the
front of the property with a variety of flowering
shrubs and a small area of lawn and pathway
to both sides. To the western side of the house
is a large shaped lawn with extensive flower
beds and a wide variety of established trees
and shrubs. A paved patio, accessed from the
French doors of the sitting room and enjoying
views over the garden, is an ideal spot for
alfresco dining and drinks. To the east of the
property is a productive vegetable garden
with fruit bushes. A level paddock, just over ½
an acre, is bordered by mature hedging and
stone walling. There is a five bar gate access
point from a track to the side of the house and
pedestrian access from the lane.

outbuildings to the east of the property arranged
