Beecham Farmhouse at Alscot Estate

The lane leading to Beecham Farmhouse is akin to being on a magical mystery tour, each twist and turn of your hedgerow-lined drive takes you deeper into the countryside and at the very end lies Beecham Farmhouse.

Once inside, you’ll find a truly fabulous house beautifully designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Polished flagstone floors feature in the hallway, kitchen and conservatory and the impressive living spaces include the elegant drawing room, sitting room and a cosy snug, which doubles as the perfect playroom for younger visitors. There’s a well-equipped kitchen and a fabulous conservatory with a 12-seater dining table. It’s an impressive space that lends itself to lazy breakfasts in the sunshine, convivial Sunday lunches and elegant evenings with friends. Multiple sets of double doors lead from here into the garden and onto the terrace. There are three stunning bedrooms on the first floor, two further delightful bedrooms on the second floor and four bathrooms.

The circular drive offers ample parking for 5 cars. **An additional fee applies for the hot tub.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
The welcoming entrance to Beecham Farmhouse is also where you’ll find a desk and USB charging point, a very useful space if work can’t be left behind or you just want somewhere to sit and read the papers.

Sitting Room:
This gorgeous room is perfect for relaxing and watching a film. Plump, cushion-filled sofas and armchairs offer plenty of seating, original beams line the ceiling and when the weather is chilly put a match to the open fire and relax in total comfort. The large wall-mounted Smart TV is unobtrusive but there should you desire it.

Drawing Room:
Elegant and stylish yet filled with character from the wooden beams marching across the ceiling and the stunning stone fireplace which creates a glorious focal point to an already fabulous room. The drawing room is purposely designed as a place to relax and is a room free from a TV. Curl up with a good book or enjoy the company of your fellow guests. Soft velvet sofas stuffed with cushions are gathered around the fireplace creating an utterly beautiful social space that just welcomes you in with open arms, like a warm hug.

Snug:
The snug is a multi-purpose room, and a cosy space to relax. It works well as a room for film nights but also as a place where children can play whilst the grown-ups enjoy drinks in the drawing room. There is a wall-mounted TV and a leather-back sofa, velvet pouffes and a selection of games.

Kitchen:
Original beams and polished flagstones fill this room with character, yet the kitchen also boasts everything practical needed for a self-catering stay. A large range cooker with a gas hob and two ovens, one gas and one electric, sits within the original fireplace, and you’ll also find a large fridge-freezer and a dishwasher. A central island is a great place for perching with a drink whilst the culinary masters in your party create marvellous meals. There is also a useful utility area with a second fridge, another dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, and a cloakroom, also known as the ‘Gent’s Loo’.

Conservatory:
Taking centre stage is a fabulous dining table where even the simplest of meals will feel like special occasions. Ease into the day with breakfast, enjoy long, lazy lunches and then as night falls, dine under the twinkling lights of the statement chandelier that hangs overhead. This elegant room is a delightful addition and when the weather is kind, you can throw open the doors to the garden. There is also easy access to the terrace and garden.

The Grove:
The divine master suite is a masterclass in interior design. A super-king size lies beneath exposed beams and high ceilings.
