Originally built as a Victorian school with adjoining headmaster's house, and latterly converted to a farmhouse, Becks End Farm is a handsome, double-fronted family home offering nearly 3,500 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. The interiors are elegantly styled throughout, with a wealth of period features including high ceilings and fireplaces which creates the ideal space for both family life and entertaining.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall which comprises a dual-aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, as well as a triple-aspect games room. Both rooms open onto the rear terrace and are separated by an inner hall that leads to a well-proportioned study. A door from the sitting room leads to a side hall with a useful cloakroom and access to the garden. Further on this floor is a music room featuring a wood-burning stove set within a fireplace, flanked by bespoke storage on either side, whilst adjacent is a contemporary dining room with a vaulted, wood-lined ceiling, panoramic glass with views over the garden and doors that open onto the terrace. The accommodation is completed by a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of wall and base units. From here, there is access to a boiler room, a walk-in pantry, and a well-equipped utility room with an en suite cloakroom and a door to the front terrace. The kitchen also opens onto a family area, which features another fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

An oak imperial-style staircase rises from the reception hall to a galleried landing, which leads to a principal bedroom featuring arched glazing, a dressing room, and a modern en suite shower room. There is a second bedroom, also with arched glazing, fitted storage, and an en suite bathroom, along with three further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom.
