Having lived at Beech House for some twenty-seven years and completed a total refurbishment over that time, the current owners have ensured this beautiful home is both well-maintained and retaining its Victorian character and charm. Set in the Croston Conservation Area and being a Property of Local Interest, Beech House offers an ideal family home set close to the highly acclaimed local schools and other excellent village amenities.

The solid front door with decoratively leaded and stained-glass fanlight opens to the Victorian tiled porch which shelters the inner part-glazed door with surrounding matching glazed panels. The broad hallway displays an abundance of original features of the era to include decorative coving and corbels, moulded wall panels and dado rails, deep skirting boards and high ceilings. A spindle staircase with carved pitch pine newel post rises and turns to the first-floor landing, has a cupboard beneath and the area is warmed by a decoratively covered radiator. White four-panelled doors give away to each of the rooms off the hall and the travertine tiled flooring continues into the dining kitchen.

The snug has a decoratively stained and leaded sash window to the front, a central pendant light and two wall lights. The decoratively covered radiator supplements the warmth from the open fire facility which is surrounded by a Minster stone fireplace and has built-in cupboards with bookshelves to either side.

On the opposite side of the hall, the lounge has oak flooring, a decoratively stained and leaded sash window to the front, a central pendant light and two radiators. A raised electric fire with pebble feature is set into a black granite surround and has coordinating shelving and drawer units to either side. From here, double doors with leaded glass insets open to the dining room, currently used as a music room, which also has a door to the hall.

The dining room also has French windows to the rear garden, a pendant light and two radiators. Fitted display shelving lines one wall and a further door from here opens into the study.

Having two leaded sash side windows, recessed downlights and two radiators, the study is fitted with an excellent range of bespoke oak wall and base furniture creating the perfect home office.

A door from the study opens into the fully tiled shower room with side window, recessed downlights and vinyl flooring. The three-piece white suite comprises a wall mounted wash hand basin, close coupled WC and a walk-in double shower with glass screen. Two fitted cupboards provide housing for the Ideal gas central heating boiler and the hot water cylinder tank with linen shelf.

The dining kitchen has French windows to the rear garden, four Velux skylights set into the vaulted ceiling plus a side window - each contributing to the flow of natural light in the dining area of the room – plus a pendant light for evening ambience. A built-in cabinet opens to reveal plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for a tumble dryer along with additional storage space. The kitchen area has side window, recessed downlights and is fitted with an excellent range of Thomas Chippendale cherry beech wall and base cabinets with tumbled Travertine marble hand-made splash tiling in a natural shade between levels. The matching central island and cabinets have Brathy blue-black Cumbrian slate worktops and an etched drainer sits alongside the porcelain sink unit with French style mixer tap over. Also inset is a Smeg five-burner gas hob with a chimney style stainless-steel extractor fan above and an eye-level Neff double oven and grill alongside. Integrated appliances include a Bosch automatic dishwasher, Bosch fridge and there is space for an American style larder fridge freezer.

From the hall, a door gives way to the rear, mainly glazed, quarry-tiled porch with a pendant light, shoe cupboard and a door to the rear garden.

The staircase rises and turns to the first-floor split-level landing and passes a decoratively stained and leaded glass window, with secondary glazing, to the rear. The landing has a spindle balustrade, a covered radiator, a chandelier-point and a hatch to the Rockwool insulated loft with drop-down ladder.

Before reaching the main landing, steps rise to the fully tiled family bathroom with a side window, recessed downlights, under-floor heating plus a tubular radiator and a separate radiator to warm the towels. The four-piece traditional style white suite comprises a double-sized shower cabinet, a back-to-wall deep bathtub, a pedestal wash hand basin and a low flush w.c. The room also has three wall-mounted toiletries cabinets with mirror fronts.

The master bedroom has two stained and leaded sash windows to the front, is lit by three wall lights and warmed by two radiators. This spacious room also benefits from a recessed dressing area with fitted wardrobes and has more than ample space for further furniture.

The further three generously spacious double bedrooms each have pendant lights and radiators. Bedroom two overlooks the front, bedroom three overlooks the rear and has built-in wardrobes, and bedroom four overlooks the side.

The property can be approached two ways; firstly, to the front is a low brick-built wall with stone copings, wrought iron railings and a laurel hedge beyond. A central wrought iron pedestrian gate is inset and opens to a block paved frontage with a small seating area. Secondly, to the side of the property is a shared driveway which leads to an area providing parking for two cars and to the extra-large detached, brick-built garage with two electronically controlled doors, side window and door, power and light. A timber security gate with key-pad opens to the walled, south-west facing rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a flagged path cutting through to the porch and a paved area for al fresco dining. Flower and shrub borders surround and the garden also features exterior lighting and an outside tap.
