The house is notable for its elegant, spacious, south-west facing accommodation, which is ideal for both comfortable every-day living and larger scale formal entertaining. Embellished with original period features including neo-gothic panelling, medieval stained glass windows and encaustic tiling, Beaufort House boasts a wealth of history.
The front door opens to a portico with large timbered gable porch and a further impressive entrance hall, off which leads the two principal reception rooms and a snug.
Both the elegant drawing room with medieval fireplace, and the dining room have deep sash windows and concertina shutters. To the rear of the house is a kitchen/breakfast room fitted by Scottswood of Nottingham, featuring a range of traditional cabinet built oak cupboards and marble worktops, along with gas fired Britannia range cooker. Doors lead to the southwest facing garden, ideal for outdoor dining. A utility area with integral appliances leads from the kitchen and a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. There is also a cellar providing ample storage, accessed from the kitchen. Five bedrooms are laid out over the first and second floors. All of the bedrooms have retained their original fireplaces and all enjoy an outlook over established trees in the grounds of the house and surrounding area. The principal bedroom has an attractive fireplace with delft tiles and spacious en-suite shower room with 'his and hers' sinks. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with raised roll top bath and feature fireplace. A further principal bedroom on the second floor is of particular note, with original panelled flooring and spacious ensuite bathroom with large shower and roll top bath, providing a dressing area to one end.
Gardens and Grounds
The Limes is approached through electric gates, at the end of a 'no-through' road, with driveway parking and a garage. There is a garden to the front of the house with a variety of established trees, including a rare American tulip tree, and a stone folly that Poutney Smith removed from one of his church works to sit nestled in the grounds of the Limes.
The rear walled garden is another particular feature of the property, being carefully landscaped and providing a tranquil, private space for the house. Box hedging that surrounds stocked feature beds and a paved terrace extend from the house.
