An exceptional detached family home occupying a tranquil village location adjoining farmland and standing in glorious gardens and grounds of about half an acre. The house has a contemporary yet traditional feel and is presented to a very high standard with bright and well-proportioned accommodation. The house is beautifully appointed and was designed to fully complement the setting with fine views over the superb landscaped gardens and grounds. The feeling of space is immediate and the generous living accommodation includes a twin aspect drawing room with sliding doors to the garden and a central limestone fireplace complemented by a spacious dining room (also with sliding doors opening out to the garden) and a sitting room with oak flooring and a large bay window. The stunning kitchen/breakfast room is set around an island and has been completed with eye and base level cabinets, work surfaces and a gas and electric range together with French doors to the garden. There are four bedrooms including three bedroom suites and a family bathroom. Of note, the bath and shower rooms have been fitted with stylish boutique sanitary ware with large walk-in showers. There is a double-ended bath and under floor heating in the family bathroom. There are very few properties within the local area that are as well-appointed and the decor and specification have created a genuinely comfortable and welcoming village home.
The house is complemented by a very useful detached studio outbuilding with a shower room. This space could be utilised for a variety of different uses including as a home office, hobby space or guest suite.
Outside
The house stands within attractive and very well-tended landscaped grounds providing a wonderful setting with glorious views. There is a very well-positioned summerhouse and expanses of lawn set between mature hedgerows together with banks of flowering shrubs, spring bulbs and a variety of young and mature trees. There are a variety of areas of interest including a vegetable garden set to one side. An ideal outside seating area adjoins each of the principal rooms to the rear and provides a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.
A private driveway is approached via an electric five bar gate and provides ample parking. In addition, there is a large timber store set to the rear of the outbuilding.
Situation
Beech has a very strong and active community with a Church and village hall. The village stands amidst unspoilt woodland and countryside yet is within just a mile or so of the market town of Alton.

The village of Bentworth, about three miles, has a primary school, public house and church. The popular market town of Alton provides a good range of individual shops, Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, weekly and specialist markets, cinema, sports centre, two secondary schools, sixth form college and station to London Waterloo.
