Beckfield is a delightful and beautifully maintained barn conversion built of Island stone which dates back to the 1800s, when it was formerly a dairy and was later converted in the late 1960s/early1970s. The property offers great versatility with a good number of very useful outbuildings including the former Boat Store which is now converted to a successful holiday let providing a useful income. The main property features hand crafted oak interior doors and well proportioned rooms including a wonderful and well appointed kitchen/dining room with an oak framed dining area with vaulted ceiling flooding light into the space and enjoying the outlook over the pretty gardens and patio terrace. The double aspect living room is again a bright and airy space with an attractive fireplace complete with a ‘Clearview’ multi fuel stove. French doors lead onto the patio terrace and door also lead to a snug/fourth bedroom. A generous utility/boot room provides useful space and the three double bedrooms offer excellent sleeping accommodation. The main bedroom features built-in wardrobes and a spacious en suite facility. The second bedroom is a large room which was formerly two separate bedrooms which can easily be reinstated if required. A family bathroom completes the internal space. The accommodation is warmed by an LPG gas fired central heating system and the windows are double glazed.
Outside there are separate areas of garden including the fabulous swimming pool terrace with heated and covered pool, together with a changing/shower room and a wonderful summer house with decked terrace ideal for relaxation. A vegetable garden and separate kitchen garden offer other areas to explore, as well as a beautifully planted formal garden and patio terrace adjacent to the property. Complimenting the gardens are a number of very useful outbuildings including a double garage with adjoining plant room, a large workshop with planning permission to convert to a holiday let similar to The Old Boat Store, a timber garden shed and a greenhouse, making this property a fabulous opportunity for those looking for country living combined with an income and a variety of facilities.
