Situated in a rural, elevated location, Wyck Beacon House is positioned approximately 3 miles from Stow on the Wold and 1 mile from Upper Rissington. Built in the 1940's as a farmhouse, the property still retains some original features including metal-framed windows and open fireplaces, for example, but has been substantially updated by the present owner to provide a distinctly contemporary feel. Of special note are the bathrooms, all newly and beautifully fitted. Externally, a high degree of privacy is afforded by judicious planting of trees and shrubs however, should one wish to open up the approach, the views to the front give panoramic views over the beautiful Windrush valley below.

Constructed of cream brick and significantly extended over the years, the property sits within approximately 2.2 acres of landscaped gardens and offers generous accommodation arranged over two floors, to include a spacious reception hall, large drawing room and dining room (both with open fireplaces), kitchen/breakfast room, scullery, music room and study, with five double bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room has potential to double its current size with an extension looking out over the gardens and onto the fields beyond.

Quite apart from the kitchen/breakfast room there is still considerable potential to create more living space, including a substantial attic for further bedrooms and a five-bay detached garage that could be converted into a two storey annexe (subject to the necessary planning consents). Outside, the landscaping has been carefully considered, with mature trees and hardy perennials, including a sheltered tennis court and raised decking area, looking out over fields where a local organic farmer grazes his sheep.

Given its position, Wyck Beacon could present a wonderful opportunity for someone wishing to run a Bed & Breakfast business but is equally suited to family life, with the renowned Cotswold School only a short bus route down the hill to Bourton on the Water. Internal inspection is unhesitatingly recommended.
