Tucked along a quiet country lane and framed by stone walls and hedging, Beech Farm House is a striking fusion of old and new — a Grade II listed former farmhouse, reimagined for 21st-century living.

Behind its honeyed stone façade and oak-framed porch lies a home with comfort at its core. Renovated between 2016 and 2018, its contemporary flow, smart tech features, and understated luxury create a calm, stylish backdrop for family life.
Plenty of parking can be found in the courtyard to the side, where garaging also awaits.

From the front, a gate opens to a stone-paved path leading through a neatly bordered, low-maintenance AstroTurf lawn to the oak-framed porch.

Glass and oak combine with flagstone flooring underfoot in the porch, before stepping through into the dining hall, where a beam-bedecked ceiling rises above pale oak wooden flooring and refreshing duck egg walls. Slender iron pillars nod to the home’s Victorian past, while a contemporary oak and glass staircase - complete with a classic tartan runner - adds a layer of modern country polish.

Currently used as home office, an imposing stone fireplace lends gravitas to this versatile and characterful central room.

Contemporary comfort, classic charm

To the left of the central room, the sitting room is a restful retreat. A log-burning stove takes centre stage within a dark charcoal chimney breast, issuing warmth and welcome beneath rustic beams and modern spotlighting above. Windows to the front and side usher in natural light, while integrated ceiling speakers hint at the home’s smart, future-facing finish - a theme that runs throughout the home.

Thoughtful transitions

From the central room, an inner lobby offers a practical pause, with open shelving for shoes, books or baskets, and access through to a handy cloakroom cleverly fitted with automatic lighting. There’s also a comms room here, along with space for a chest freezer; subtle details that quietly elevate everyday ease.

Heart of the home

At the rear of the home, the kitchen-dining room is a true wow-factor room. Generously sized and saturated in light, this is room made for modern family life.

Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in soft grey offers seamless storage, while a large central island infuses a sociable element. An abundance of drawers makes cooking feel effortless and clutter free. Integrated appliances include an instant boiling tap, steam oven and built-in microwave, whilst underfloor heating ensures all-season comfort. Above, rectangular roof lanterns flood the room with natural light.

With ample space for a large dining table, enjoy everyday meals or entertain on weekends. A media wall with contemporary glass-fronted fire and television at the far end provides space to relax after dinner. The only real nod to the home’s rural roots is the Aga-style cooker currently housed at one end of the island, a gentle reminder of the farmhouse’s past in an otherwise cool, contemporary setting.

Behind the scenes

Off the central room, the utility and boot room continue the home’s refined style with dusky pink cabinetry, oak flooring and another stone fireplace with beams above. Smartly designed with sink and plumbing, built-in cloaks storage and a side door for muddy comings and goings, this side of the home delivers all the practical functionality of a busy household, without compromising on style.

Soak, sleep and unwind

Returning to the entrance hall, ascend the tartan-carpeted stairs to discover four large bedrooms, each bringing its own individuality whilst sharing the same spectacular vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and individual thermostats for warmth, character and comfort.

Discover bedroom two overlooking the garden to the front of the home. A soothing, spacious room, with crisp white walls, dove grey carpet and a statement A-frame timber beam, freshen up in the ensuite, featuring floor-to-ceiling grey tiling, a bath with overhead shower, vanity and WC.

Across the landing, bedroom three embodies a cottage cosiness, dressed in pale grey carpet and soft white tones. With its high, lofty ceiling, a mezzanine level above makes an excellent snug, reading perch or hideout for children’s imaginative play, while a modern ensuite – complete with pocket door, jacuzzi bath and storage-topped vanity – adds boutique hotel appeal.
The principal suite is a haven of calm, reached via a private hallway with walk-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite complete with bath, vanity unit and WC. Light pours in through the large windows, accentuating the high ceiling and minimalist tones.
At the far end of the landing, a vast fourth bedroom currently serves as a games room, with its own WC tucked away – a brilliantly flexible space for older children, sleepovers, cinema nights or even guest accommodation.

Outdoor living and outbuilding opportunities

In the sunny front garden of Beech Farm, neat AstroTurf lawn and borders ready for planting create an elegant introduction to the home, offering ample space for children and pets to play. South-facing, the front garden features a generous stone patio, perfect for summer dining or simply basking in the warmth of the day.

To the side, a spacious patio offers yet more room to entertain and unwind, while a cobbled courtyard leads to a trio of garages, two currently used for vehicles, whilst the third has been reimagined as a home gym. The largest of the garages has been cleverly adapted, with its floor lowered to meet the level of the house, with potential to connect through to a dedicated home office at the rear. Whether working from home, managing hobbies, or dreaming of future uses, the potential here is palpable.
