Tucked away on a pedestrian lane in Beckington is this stunning detached grade II listed Georgian house with two bedrooms and an orangery. The property has a strong focus on balance and proportion with an emphasis on harmony and symmetry. Gated Steps approach the beautiful double fronted dressed stone facade. The front entrance has a classic panelled door with a pediment above which opens into a lobby to the left of which is the living room. This features an ornate fireplace within a stone surround and dual aspect windows. There is a useful alcove that could be used as a reading nook or accommodate a desk. To the other side of the lobby is the dining hall which features one of the four symmetrical windows within the main house and original wooden floorboards. From this room there are stairs to both the first floor and stone steps leading to the basement. Beyond is the newly fitted kitchen with an integrated undercounter fridge, electric oven, gas hob and an extractor hood. There are reclaimed wooden floorboards which compliment the original floors and a W/C with plumbing for a washing machine. Beyond is the orangery which has a glazed roof with a charming dovecot. Windows overlook the garden and double doors open out to the terrace. Terracotta tiles, a recessed arch alcove, a porthole window and ornate stonework bring a real sense of grandeur to this wonderful light space. From the dining hall stairs take you to a galleried landing and two double bedrooms, all of which are flooded with light. There is a newly fitted bathroom with a separate shower and a large airing cupboard. From the dining hall there are also steps down to a basement, which has shelving and cupboard storage and a door leading out to the lane.
