A sensitive and tasteful re-development of an historic former farm in Old Wennington - with stone mullion windows and exposed stonework - Beckside combines period charm with modern comforts. In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises: large kitchen/diner with 4 oven electric Aga; family dining room; stunning lounge with vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace housing log burning stove; good-sized living room; superb triple aspect sitting room with French doors to the south facing sun terrace; hall; utility room and ground floor cloakroom.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to 4 double bedrooms and the house bathroom. Bedroom 1 is a good-sized master bedroom with en-suite and bedroom 4 is currently used as a home office. Extended by the current owners, stairs rise from the sitting room to an independent first floor double bedroom and en-suite - ideal for guests or inter-generational living.
Outside, the property enjoys an elevated position with views across open country. There's a superb patio terrace to the front aspect - ideal for entertaining outside - with feature fountain, low level lighting and 13 amp points, with steps down to an area of lawn with fruit trees. To the side aspect, there is a further patio seating area with views over the paddock. Beckside has ample off-road parking with a double garage and gravel drive at the rear. A 2 acre paddock can be accessed from the drive, comprising pasture and a small copse. Currently sheep-grazed, the paddock is suitable for horses, with space for stabling, if required.
Peacefully located in rolling countryside, Beckside is reached via pleasant, winding country lanes. There's a network of footpaths and green lanes to explore from the property's doorstep. Located in Lancashire, the county boundary with North Yorkshire is just a few steps up the lane. The Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Forest of Bowland and Morecambe Bay are all within easy reach, for great days out in stunning scenery.
