Overview

Beacon Cottage is an exceptional stone-built home dating from the 1890's and offering over 2,900 sq ft with four bedrooms, combining traditional architecture with generous living proportions. The property features handsome stone elevations beneath a slate roof, while the interiors retain a wealth of period detail, including exposed timber beams, latched doors and impressive stone inglenook fireplaces.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall into a series of well-appointed reception spaces. These include a generous sitting room with an inglenook fireplace housing a cast iron wood-burning stove and framed by substantial exposed beams. It offers the opportunity for two distinct living spaces. There is also a separate snug, which could serve as a useful study, featuring an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, as well as fitted cupboards. The farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a traditional Rayburn, bespoke timber cabinetry and a large peninsula. It opens into a formal dining room, while a practical utility room and separate w/c lies beyond. To the rear, a bright garden room with French doors opens onto a gravel terrace, alongside a generous ground-floor bedroom with a dressing room and en suite shower room, ideal for multi-generational living or guests.

On the first floor are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, including the principal suite featuring fitted cupboards, a large dressing room, modern en suite bathroom and picturesque views over the grounds and countryside beyond. The remaining two bedrooms also benefit from fitted cupboards and dressing rooms. They are served by an elegant family bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower.

This property has 4.25 acres of land.
