Beautifully proportioned throughout, Beaulieu House offers substantial and versatile accommodation extending over four floors. Rich in Victorian character, the property retains an abundance of original period features including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, picture rails, deep skirting boards, original fireplaces and elegant bay windows, whilst providing adaptable living spaces suited to modern family life. Main Accommodation Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an impressive reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the quality and character found throughout. A magnificent original staircase with beautifully turned balustrading rises to the first floor, creating a striking focal point, whilst the generous hallway provides access to the principal reception rooms. The principal reception room is beautifully proportioned and flooded with natural light through an elegant bay window, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the property's elevated outlook across the landscaped gardens. A superb marble fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating an ideal space for both formal entertaining and everyday family living. The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of cream shaker-style cabinetry complemented by polished granite work surfaces. A traditional range-style cooker forms the centrepiece, whilst integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The generous layout provides excellent preparation space and storage, making this the true heart of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room, offering ample space for family meals and entertaining alike. Beautifully proportioned, it provides an elegant setting for both everyday dining and special occasions. From the kitchen, a door and steps lead down to the substantial Victorian Cellar, presenting exceptional versatility. Currently comprising a large recreation room, extensive storage room and separate wine cellar, this area offers excellent potential for a home office, gymnasium, cinema room, games room or hobby space, subject to individual requirements. We have been advised by the current owners that the cellar has recently been tanked. The impressive first-floor landing is a magnificent feature in its own right, reflecting the grandeur of this Victorian residence. High ceilings, decorative detailing and an elegant staircase combine to create an exceptional sense of space. A particularly charming feature is the original working Victorian hinged rooflight, engineered to open between 70 and 90 degrees, historically allowing luggage and large furnishings to be hoisted between floors. The principal bedroom is an exceptional room, enjoying a striking bay window with elevated views across the surrounding landscape. Generous proportions provide ample space for bedroom furniture, while fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage. High ceilings and original period detailing further enhance the room's elegant character. The bedroom benefits from a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, comprising a large glazed shower enclosure, wall-mounted WC and bidet, vanity unit with wash hand basin and a heated towel radiator. There are four further generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, providing flexible accommodation for family members or guests. Serving these bedrooms is a spacious family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath, separate corner shower enclosure, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. The second floor provides two further generously sized bedrooms, both featuring attractive vaulted ceilings. These versatile rooms are ideal for older children, guest accommodation, hobbies or home office use. One of the bedrooms also provides access to the boarded loft space, which houses the hot water cylinder and offers access to the rooflight.

Self-Contained Annexe A particularly valuable feature of Beaulieu House is its beautifully presented self-contained annexe. Offering complete independence whilst remaining connected to the main residence, this versatile accommodation is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation or potential supplementary income. Accessed via its own private entrance and hallway, the annexe comprises a superb sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a door opening onto the front terrace. A beautiful marble fireplace with an original Victorian gas fire and decorative tiled inset provides an attractive focal point. The kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with an excellent range of fitted wall and base units, an integrated eye-level oven, electric hob with extractor hood and space for a tall fridge/freezer. French doors provide direct access to the garden, whilst an additional door leads to the private courtyard. There is ample space for a breakfast table and chairs together with a useful built-in storage cupboard. The spacious double bedroom benefits from an excellent range of fitted furniture. Completing the accommodation is a modern fully tiled shower room comprising a shower enclosure, wash hand basin, WC and plumbing for a washing machine, with an additional door providing direct access to the courtyard. Should it be preferred, the annexe can easily be incorporated back into the main residence, allowing the property to function as one substantial family home. Gardens & Grounds The beautifully landscaped gardens provide an idyllic setting, thoughtfully designed to complement both the character of the house and its elevated position. The south-facing formal gardens enjoy outstanding panoramic views and sunshine throughout the day. A central lawn is framed by mature shrubs, established planting and colourful borders, whilst an extensive paved terrace extends across the front of the property, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, al fresco dining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the spectacular surroundings. To the rear, a series of beautifully landscaped terraced gardens offers a more secluded and tranquil environment. Enclosed by attractive stone walling, the three principal terraces have been thoughtfully arranged with gravel and decking, interspersed with mature planting. The upper terrace benefits from an external power supply, providing an ideal location for a hot tub where one can relax whilst taking in the far-reaching views. A private courtyard further enhances the outdoor space, serving either as an extension of the main house or a secluded garden for the annexe. Parking & Garaging The property benefits from extensive private off-road parking, comfortably accommodating numerous vehicles. A detached double garage provides secure parking together with excellent additional storage. Further practical features include a gardener's WC and useful external storage areas.
