The Property

Dating from 1860 Beech Cottage was originally constructed as living accommodation for the Pump Master of the neighbouring Woodnesborough Pumping Station. This attractive Victorian family home, with its tile hung upper elevation and ornate brick window surrounds, has been lovingly updated and extended by the present owners to create a versatile modern living space that blends harmoniously with the abundance of character features throughout. From the charming exposed brick and beamed entrance hallway two doors access both the kitchen/diner and the study/snug which also interconnect forming part of the semi open-plan layout. Beyond the kitchen/dining area lies a comfortable family room and to rear a light filled sitting room occupies the modern extension, complete with Velux windows, exposed beams and French doors which overlooks and opens onto the garden. A useful utility room sits beyond the study/snug, whilst the cleverly concealed guest bedroom four complete with ensuite shower room, secretly resides behind the guise of understairs storage. Three delightful double bedrooms occupy the first floor which are serviced by a bright and airy family bathroom.
