This stunning Edwardian Arts & Crafts home was built in 1905 for George Cadbury Junior. Beautifully proportioned throughout this stunning property offers spacious and flowing accommodations with excellent provisions made for convenient storage throughout the entire house.
Recently refurbished by the current owners the property is beautifully appointed throughout.
The front door opens to a large, elegant reception hallway with herringbone parquet flooring adding a warmth of colour to the space. Doors radiate to all of the principal reception rooms and there is a useful guest cloakroom/WC and a good size storage cupboard underneath the stairs. A turning staircase rises to the first floor landing area and an arched window at the quarter landing provides wonderful views and ample natural light.
The characterful drawing room is light and bright with a dual aspect. A feature viewing window allows the garden views to be enjoyed and a window to either side provides yet more natural light. There is a log-burning stove providing another focal point.
The space flows through to the large formal dining room which can also be accessed via the reception hallway. This wonderful room has the benefit of a bank of three windows providing ample natural light and views over the gardens and woodland. Opposite the dining room, an excellently fitted Butler's pantry offers ample space to store and view one's dinner service.
Double doors open from the dining room to the fabulous garden room. This large triple aspect space makes it possible to enjoy the gardens regardless of the time of year. French doors lead out to the large patio area and gardens beyond.
Sliding doors open to the library/hobby room with a further door flowing back to the inner hall creating a wonderful flow to the accommodation.
The inner hall flows around to the sitting room with a window providing lovely views and a delightful log burning stove draws the eye. There is also a second, servants' staircase to the first floor.
The kitchen complex is unique. The well fitted kitchen with solid wood worksurfaces and a delightful cream Aga provides ample space for food preparation. There is a lovely, separate breakfast room ideal for less formal dining and relaxation before dinner. There is a walk in pantry off the main kitchen and a large, separate utility room next to the Butler's pantry on the opposite side of the hallway.
A hall from the kitchen provides access to two large storerooms, a useful cloakroom/WC and a door to the front gardens. This superb space would also double extremely well as a boot room for returning from long muddy walks with the dogs.
From the breakfast room, double doors open to the home office/study. An excellent size room and away from the hubbub of the main house it is perfect for peace whilst working. A large storage cupboard provides the perfect location for larger office equipment and a staircase descends to the large, dry cellar.
From the reception hall the elegant staircase rises to the first floor landing area where all six bedrooms are located along with the family bathroom. The superb accommodation is not short of storage space, there are two banks of fitted linen closets and five separate store rooms to the first floor.
The large principal bedroom suite is delightful. There are fitted wardrobes and a wonderful dressing room which would serve equally well as a sitting area for relaxation before bedtime. The superb en suite bathroom can also be used as a family bathroom, Jack and Jill style from the principal and the landing area.
Set in an elevated position Beaconwood enjoys far-reaching countryside views. The landscaped gardens are a tranquil and peaceful hideaway surrounded by unspoilt woodland offering complete privacy.
