DESCRIPTION
 
A most attractive double fronted stone coach house conversion located within a quiet backwater in convenient Beardwood. Historically the building was part of the Beardwood Hall Estate. The Old Hall and its outbuildings, which included the coach house, were renovated several years ago. The property is extremely well presented and tastefully appointed to enhance its inherent period character. We understand it to have Grade ll listed status. It is particularly spacious throughout and has two really generous reception rooms [both with access to the rear garden], a well equipped kitchen, a cloaks/wc and three really good sized bedrooms, served by a house bathroom/wc with shower. Gas central heating is installed and the property features double glazed period style opening sash windows. Please take time to look at the additional photography, room by room virtual tours and floor plans for this property. It really is a very appealing period conversion. External The property has driveway gates, a spacious gravelled courtyard creating plenty of owner and visitor parking and a very well maintained and walled rear garden.
