The Property

Beechwood, a substantial five-bedroom detached family home, beautifully positioned on one of Fleet’s most desirable residential roads. Originally built by the highly regarded local builder Pool & Sons, Beechwood Lodge is a fine example of 1930s architecture, thoughtfully enhanced to provide over 4,000 sq ft of elegant and versatile family accommodation. Set behind secure gates and approached via a sweeping in-and-out driveway, the property occupies a generous and private plot with landscaped gardens, a detached double garage and a wonderful sense of arrival.

Ground Floor Accommodation

Inside, the proportions are immediately apparent. A grand entrance hall sets the tone, with herringbone parquet flooring, crisp white walls, dark timber detailing and an impressive arched window overlooking the staircase. Period character sits comfortably alongside the more contemporary elements of the house, creating a home that feels both timeless and highly practical. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and provide a choice of spaces for entertaining, relaxing and family life. Two retain their original working fireplaces, bringing a sense of warmth and heritage, whilst the garden room offers a more informal setting with an abundance of natural light and direct views over the gardens.

At the heart of the house is an impressive bespoke kitchen and dining space, designed as the natural hub of the home. Elegant Shaker cabinetry is complemented by quartz work surfaces and a substantial central island, with integrated appliances including a microwave, warming drawer and instant boiling-water tap. The adjoining dining area is particularly striking, with full-height glazing and a large skylight flooding the room with natural light. From here, the house opens naturally towards the garden, creating a wonderful setting for both everyday family life and entertaining.

A separate utility room provides excellent practical space and houses the MegaFlo hot-water system and accumulator. A bespoke dog shower is an additional, thoughtful feature reflecting the home's suitability for modern family living.

First and Second Floor

Arranged over two floors, the bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. There are five generous bedrooms in total, with three benefiting from beautifully appointed en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom and bedroom two each feature walk-in wardrobes, providing excellent storage and a sense of privacy.

All four bathrooms have been finished to a high standard, with underfloor heating providing an additional level of comfort.

Outside

The gardens are wonderfully private and mature, with established trees and planting creating a secluded backdrop to the house. The rear garden provides a number of areas for entertaining and relaxing, with ample space for family life and summer gatherings. External power points and water supplies further enhance the practicality of the garden. A separate insulated outbuilding with power is currently arranged as a gym and yoga studio. This versatile space could equally provide an impressive home office, studio, games room or guest accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
