Beechin Oast

A sweeping entrance drive makes for a stunning start to a visit to Beechin Oast. Sitting proudly almost centrally in the plot of approx. 1.3 acres this converted rural Oast was developed into a home in 1946 to create a fabulous family home. Parking to the drive and triple spaces offered by the oak framed car barns smothered in wisteria.

Immediately as you enter the property the structure of the original building is evident as the welcoming hallway forms part of the Oast roundel in local ragstone. An extended sitting room with great light flooding in from the front facing box style multi aspect window. Features are made of the exposed ragstone to the roundel that partly cuts into the room and oak framing to the extended roof line to the window area. Connected as you move through this space is the good sized social kitchen dining area. The space for a good sized family table moves towards an island style breakfast bar and connects into the spacious classic shaker style kitchen with stone worksurfaces and tiling. A door allows access to the front garden and will no doubt be used as a main entrance option.

As you move up the staircase from the welcoming hallway a bright and airy Sun Lounge makes the most of the rear and side terrace via French doors looking out over the stunning rear garden. Exposed rib beams allow to see the A frame style finish to this room which is flexible in its use as a secondary lounge, music room and dining space to take in the beautiful surroundings. The connected landing offers access to all bedrooms and includes the first floor roundel used a study by its current owners but could easily be used as a five bedroom or be converted to offer more bath or dressing room spaces. Maybe a children's playroom as it is connected to another bedroom. The principle bedroom sits furthest along the landing with a triple aspect outlook and double doors to the connected terrace, ideal for a morning coffee taking in the garden and nature that surround the home. An ensuite bathroom and dressing space make this a fantastic space to relax. The second bedroom also offers ensuite facilities and looks out over the front garden as do the other two spacious rooms. These are looked after by a family bathroom that sits centrally on this floor with bath and shower over plus twin sinks for convenience.

Externally, this family home is everything the photos infer with a large open lawn mature trees, wild flowers and outbuildings to store garden furniture and equipment. All is immaculately presented and gives a great sense of nature and countryside charm. Seasonal changes with flowers borders and mature wisteria give pockets of interest and colour throughout the year.
