Property description & features
DESCRIPTION
Beckington Castle is a striking and historic 17th century house that has been occupied as a private residence by several notable people. It has also formerly served as a hotel, antiques showroom, and school. More recently it was refurbished by the current vendors in the 1990’s for use as their office headquarters.
The building remains in excellent decorative order and continues to be used as office accommodation. It has been adapted to suit current office requirements including data points, modern lighting, health and safety compliance etc. all whilst not compromising on the abundant period and character features. Arranged over four storeys as illustrated overleaf together with a cellar (not shown on the plan).

Externally here is parking immediately adjacent the building and, subject to obtaining any necessary consents, scope to increase the parking capacity by using part of the lawned area. To the immediate rear of the building there is an enclosed lawned garden with stone outbuilding and to the south a large lawn with feature pond. Set in approximately 0.42 acres.It offers potential scope for alternative suitable uses such as returning it to a single private dwelling, letting accommodation, serviced offices or similar, subject to any necessary consents.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
