4 bedroom house

Beverston is situated almost centrally in its grounds with uninterrupted stunning 180 degree views for miles over the Severn Estuary and across the two Severn crossings, in a peaceful setting. It is a Victorian house, with later additions, but retains many features appropriate to its period. There are moulded ceiling cornices, panelled doors, period fireplace in the sitting room, a tessellated floor, archway and door with stained glass in the entrance hall. The present owners, who purchased the property in 2006 when the house and grounds were in need of modernisation and improvement, have considerably, and attractively, enhanced the house, carefully retaining all features. All rooms have superb views, either over its grounds but mostly over the Estuary. Beverston is now a lovely family house where modern and the traditional blend.

An attractive rear entrance hall has a stone floor. The excellent bespoke kitchen/breakfast/family room is fitted with a double oven Rangemaster with hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridgerator/freezer, and an engineered oak floor which continues into a family area with fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. A wide square arch from the kitchen/breakfast room opens into a superb conservatory style dining room, with part stain glazed windows, engineered oak floor, and French doors open onto the terrace with spectacular views. Off the main entrance hall is the sitting room with a bay window with stunning views, stained floorboards and a period open fireplace. A study overlooks the drive and a large utility/boot room with stone floor opens to the outside. The first floor, with a split staircase leading to the front and rear of the house, has four bedrooms all with stunning views. The principal bedroom has an en suite bath/shower. There is a further family shower room.

Outside
A unique feature of the house is that it sits almost centrally within its grounds. From its elevated setting the views are outstanding. The present owners have spent considerable time and money enhancing the terracing in front of the house, in order to take advantage of its setting and view. It is approached over a long drive, with rockery beds and lawn on either side. The drive continues past the house to a large parking area behind, and to a timber building providing parking for one car and a workshop/store. A further timber building provides log stores.

To the west of the drive is a level lawn, once a tennis court. From this area further lawn rises to a higher level where a strategically placed summer house/home office with power and broadband connected, captures the extraordinary view. Lawns surround the house to the west, north, east and south and are interspersed with many established trees including Scots pine and Monkey Puzzle. Fruit trees include apple, quince, sloe and cherry. There are many ornamental shrubs including Peonies, Japonica and Magnolia. A mature Wisteria adorns a veranda along part of the front elevation. Spanning the width of the front elevation is a stone paved split level terrace, and decking with part with glazed balustrade, overlooking the Estuary. The views are breathtaking. From the main terrace central wide stone steps lead down to lawn.
