Adjacent to Common Wood, the property enjoys direct access to scenic walking trails, making it perfect for countryside living.

Occupying a wonderfully private position with far-reaching views over adjoining farmland and woodland, Beechwood Cottage has been immaculately maintained and thoughtfully presented throughout.

The detached annexe provides additional flexible accommodation, featuring an open-plan bedroom/living area, ground floor utility room, and bathroom. This space is ideal for visiting guests, independent family members, or use as a dedicated home office. The adjoining stables and store rooms offer further versatility and benefit from a south-facing orientation with solar panels installed on the roof.
