6 bedroom detached house

Beechwood Bank is a fine example of a detached Victorian villa, located only a short walk from the town centre.  The property sits within landscaped gardens that offer a high degree of privacy and enjoys an elevated position overlooking the park and river. 

The property has been sensitively renovated and modernised by the present owner over recent years, while retaining an array of original features such as ornate plasterwork, sash windows, fireplaces, and stair balustrade.  The accommodation is spread over four levels, with the garden level offering a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, ideal for letting or perhaps for a dependant relative.

Accommodation

A solid front door opens into a smart entrance vestibule, with attractive tiled floor and wood burning stove set within a stone surround.  An internal door opens into the welcoming reception hall, which boasts high ceilings, direct access to all ground floor accommodation and has stairs leading to upper and lower levels, with a large window at half landing level, allowing plenty of natural light to filter in.    The kitchen is located to the front of the property and comprises a range of fitted cabinets with complementary worksurfaces, gas hob, oven and integrated dishwasher.  There is ample room for dining furniture. 

The drawing room is a lovely light reception room benefitting from triple windows to the rear elevation, with views over the park and river.  There are ornate ceiling cornices and an open fire set within a marble surround.  Adjacent to the drawing room is a generous office/library, which enjoys a bay window to the rear, an open fireplace and bespoke built in bookcases to one wall. A spacious and tasteful cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation. 

Off the bright first floor landing, three bedrooms and the family bathroom can be found.  The principal bedroom is a delight, enjoying triple windows to the rear, a walk-through wardrobe and a very impressive, large en-suite bathroom, comprising a deep bath set in a tiled and panelled surround, WC and wash hand basin.  The two further bedrooms are well-proportioned and located to the front of the property, while the family bathroom comprises a claw foot roll top bath with handheld shower attachment, WC and wash hand basin. 

Carpeted stairs continue to the top floor, where two bright double bedrooms (with sloped ceilings) and a bathroom can be found. 

The garden level can be accessed from the ground floor or via a separate entrance to the side of the building.  There is a utility room with storage, sink and space for white goods, with a small pantry/store adjacent, and a door leads into the self-contained apartment.  This area comprises a charming sitting room with windows to the rear and a wood burning stove, a modern fitted kitchen, small double bedroom with study/dressing area off, and a bathroom, comprising a small freestanding bath with hand held shower attachment, WC and wash hand basin.  The boiler room (also housing the hot water tank) completes the accommodation. 

Outside

The property is approached via a monobloc paved driveway with parking for several vehicles.  The rear garden is laid out over two levels and is predominantly laid to lawn, with mature trees, shrubs and bushes, and enjoys paved patios, ideal for al fresco entertaining, and a timber summerhouse.  From the bottom of the garden, a gate leads into Dock Park.
