6 bedroom house

Beavis Hall is a beautifully presented timber
framed Grade II listed property dating back to
circa 1500, which provides a wealth of original
charm. During 2006 a newly constructed and
sympathetically designed weather boarded
Essex style barn was linked to the original
farmhouse with a contemporary glazed
walkway. Finished to a high standard and
combining modern construction techniques, the
barn enjoys the comfort of modern day living
whilst retaining a more traditional feel.

The capacious reception hall with its row of
glazed panels linking it to the newer black barn
has double doors directly to the rear terrace
which flood the home with warm natural light.
In the original wing is a peaceful dual-aspect
study with double doors to the front terrace,
and a front-facing family room. The elegant
sitting room has multiple tranquil aspects
and French doors to the garden, as well as a
characterful beamed ceiling and a large brickbuilt fireplace with a log-burning stove. There
is also a luxurious family bathroom whilst a pair
of useful utility rooms can be found in both the
west and east wings. The impressive kitchen
and breakfast room also enjoys an abundance
of natural light via three sets of double doors to
the terrace and grounds, as well as comprising
a stylish array of in-keeping wall and base
cabinetry and taller storage solutions, an inset
cream AGA range cooker, breakfast bar and
ample space to dine, lounge and entertain with
a view.

The first floor comprises an enviable principal
bedroom suite with two sets of double doors
flowing to its balcony with far-reaching views
and an attractive en suite bathroom. There are
five additional characterful bedrooms, one of
which features an en suite shower room and
another with a walk-in shower and w/c adjacent.
A sumptuous family bathroom above the second
bedroom features half-wood panelled walls and
a freestanding rolltop bathtub, beside which is a
dressing space with fitted mirrored wardrobes.
A flexible skylit space above bedroom four
could also serve as a home office.

The property benefits from a considerable
plot which features a generous amount of lush
level lawn enclosed and interspersed with a
wide range of handsome established trees. The
gravelled driveway leads through two sets of
wrought iron gates to the residence, offering
ample parking alongside the detached garage,
with its adaptable rooms and store. Wellstocked beds, tree lines and an ornamental
water feature offer a grand entrance. The courtyard was designed by renowned designer Andrea Parsons who has won several awards at the Chelsea Flower Show.

There is a large barn and further store, cinema
and converted gymnasium on the first floor.
The pool house and deck enjoys a modern
kitchenette and full shower room. Enclosed via
fencing and clipped yew hedging, the swimming
pool overlooks the scenic surrounding farmland.
