Four good sized bedrooms Three reception rooms Spacious farmhouse kitchen Lots of original character features Detached two story barn/garage Fabulous well stocked gardens

Believed to have been two country cottages this most impressive house now offers extensive character accommodation. Partly half timbered, the house exudes character throughout with many appealing features including a wealth of exposed beams and an antique wood panelled main sitting room.

There is an impressive spacious reception hall with exposed wall and ceiling timbers, glazed door to outside and a door leading down to a very useful cellar with plenty of head height. The main sitting room has wood panelling to walls which, it is believed is listed. Having windows to three elevations it is a particularly light room and focal point is an open fireplace. The formal dining room has another open fireplace and windows to both front and rear. Again there are exposed ceiling timbers. The useful study has a window overlooking the rear garden and an ornate Victorian style fire surround. A special feature is the spacious farmhouse style kitchen with a wealth of exposed ceiling timbers, an oil fired Aga set in an inglenook with bread oven and ample kitchen units. A rear lobby leads to a useful utility room with white Belfast style sink and fitted units. There is a spacious ground floor cloakroom with exposed wall and ceiling timbers and this includes a WC and wash hand basin.

Two staircases rise to the first floor. On the landing there are exposed wood floors. The three main double bedrooms, two of which have wash basins, have windows facing a southerly direction taking advantage of the daytime sunlight. The fourth single bedroom has a wash basin and a window overlooking the gardens. The main family bathroom has a white suite of bath, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside there is a detached stone, brick and timber barn. This presently incorporates a double garage and stables with two loose boxes, cobbled floor and a hayloft above. The building has plenty of potential. The gardens are a delight. About one third of an acre, they have been creatively designed to provide colour and interest all year round. There are a multitude of plants, shrubs, bushes and ornamental trees. The garden is divided into various sections by attractive hedging and there is a timber pergola with a colourful climbing rose. The garden includes a wildlife pond and a vegetable section with a number of raised beds.

Little Beckjay has lovely views around some of the most beautiful countryside in South Shropshire.
