4 bedroom property for sale

Beaufort House is situated in a uniquely beautiful location up a ¾ mile tree-lined private drive, within the Estate of Edstone Hall, surrounded by mature parklands, and with gardens running to and bounded by a neighouring 10-acre lake, and just outside the village of Wootton Wawen, an attractive historic village with many period properties. This amazing property formed part of the Stables block of the original Edstone Hall, dating back to the 18th century.

The location, quality, and sheer tranquillity of Beaufort House is rare. The conversions to Beaufort House took place in 1986, and further extensive conversions in 2000, coupled with considerable internal and external works by the current owners over the last 17 years, in all extending to over 2,800 sq ft, to produce a rare gem of a property.

Beaufort House is situated within Edstone Courtyard, used by a total of three properties. It has a cobbled parking strip in front of the property taking two cars, and a single garage. In addition, Beaufort House owns an area of land, as you turn into the courtyard, of reinforced grass standing that can park further cars. The entrance off the shared courtyard belies the property, hiding behind the double front doors.

This unique home is totally stunning throughout and offers well-proportioned and flexible living space for couples and families alike, and can’t be fully appreciated unless you actually step into this beautiful characterful property. Whether it’s a hidden retreat from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of everyday life you’re looking for, or a splendid country home to entertain friends and family, this fantastic home will hopefully tick many, if not all the boxes on your wish list.

With over 2300 sq ft of accommodation in the main house and additional office space located in the extensive peaceful garden, this country home briefly comprises:- Welcoming entrance hall, formal dining room, drawing room, stunning breakfast kitchen with additional utility room, guest WC, and garden room with fabulous views. The first floor offers four bedrooms, two with en suites and a family bathroom.

The real jewel in Beaufort’s crown is the gardens, which have been immaculately developed to provide a variety of seating and dining areas, as well as a large high-quality cedar clad garden building housing a work room/store and an office that is big enough for multiple occupants to work or play. Throughout are thoughtfully placed garden lighting, watering points and electricity points feeding various water features.

The lawns are extensive and slope down to the wonderful lakeside deck for entertaining or just tranquil sitting watching swans, a variety of geese, ducks of all sorts, kingfishers, cormorants and herons. It is a tranquil place of nature (the lake has never flooded within living memory we are told)
