Description
The Old Priory is a striking character property, being one of a small collection of luxury homes within this substantial conversion of an Edwardian priory, which was turned into residential accommodation in the early 1990s.
The private front door opens into a generous reception hall, which leads to the large stylish kitchen, with attractive base and wall units, providing good storage and preparation space, with range of integrated appliances and ample room for a large dining table, ideal for entertaining. There is a good-sized adjoining utility room and a ground floor w.c..
There are two elegant reception rooms, currently arranged to provide a more formal dining room (but this could of course be used as needed, as a family room or even a sizeable study), and a sitting room with French doors that give the option to separate or open the two rooms up whenever required. The sitting room overlooks and opens onto one of the very pretty, walled private terraces.
The first floor comprises the principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite bathroom, together with three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside: Of note, The Old Priory benefits from two private terraces, one which immediately adjoins the house and a further terrace with summer house and pretty seating area with a delightful view over the communal gardens and grounds. The grounds are a major feature of Beechlands, providing a stunning backdrop for the property, with open countryside vista. Of particular note is a delightful ornamental lake featuring an interesting stone bridge and surrounded by mature park-like grounds, offering lovely space for enjoyment of the idyllic position.
A long shared private drive from Best Beech Hill leads up to a turning and parking area to the front of Beechlands, with further visitor parking also available.
