BECKSTEDDLE HOUSE Becksteddle House is an extremely impressive country house built and completed in 2016 by the current owners to an exceptional standard. The house embraces classical architecture and the proportions of a period country house, whilst being finished with a contemporary edge with the finest fixtures, fittings and finishes. The ground floor accommodation is approached through a large welcoming and impressive reception hall with oak flooring and a majestic turned galleried staircase that runs the height of the building to the second floor, lit by natural light by a large lantern in the roof. The hallway with its high ceilings and beautiful cornicing rather typifies the quality of the accommodation throughout the house, setting the tone and creating an atmosphere worthy of a property of this calibre. The drawing room, approached through double doors from the reception hall is a large, light room with further double doors onto the rear terrace and a magnificent fireplace. There is a separate family room, also approached from the reception hall, and a study. The kitchen/dining room, again approached through double doors, is one of the many wonderful features to the house, extravagant in its size and fitted beautifully with a bespoke range of kitchen cabinetry, a large island with Corian worktop and a wealth of kitchen appliances of the highest calibre. The kitchen opens out into the dining and sitting areas, constructed in the style of an orangery with a ceiling lantern and windows overlooking the rear gardens, with double doors to the terrace. A large utility/boot room can also be accessed from the kitchen/ dining room. A good study and a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor landing is an exceptional feature, running the breadth of the house with the galleried staircase running through the centre. It provides a wonderful space that could be utilised for any number of purposes, including a small sitting area or library. The master bedroom suite is particularly impressive, being a large double bedroom with adjoining dressing room and a spacious bathroom. There are 2 further bedroom suites on the first floor, each with adjoining shower room. On the second floor again a large landing creates a feeling of significant space. There is a guest suite with adjoining bath and shower, and 2 further double bedrooms enjoying a jack-and-jill bathroom. BECKSTEDDLE HOUSE Approximate Gross Internal Area = 589.0 sq.m. / 6340 sq.ft.
