Summary
Approached through beautifully landscaped front gardens and a block-paved driveway with ample parking, Beechwood House stands as a distinguished example of a Dukes Wood Estate family residence. Recently redecorated, re-carpeted, and maintained to an exceptional standard, the home combines timeless character with modern sophistication.
Ground floor
A covered entrance porch opens into an inviting reception hall, featuring an elegant bespoke glass and solid mahongy staircase by Neville Johnson, complemented by a dado rail, coving, and an ornate ceiling rose. The hall provides access to a well-appointed cloakroom and the principal reception rooms.
The main living room, of impressive proportions (29'6" x 20'6"), offers a superb space for both family gatherings and formal entertaining. Dual aspects over the front and rear gardens, two deep bay windows, and French doors provide abundant natural light. A striking marble fireplace with fitted gas fire serves as a charming focal point.
A secondary lounge with air-conditioning offers a more informal retreat-ideal as a television, cinema, or family snug.
The kitchen/breakfast/dining area has been thoughtfully modernised, fitted with a contemporary white gloss kitchen featuring neff appliances, including a built-in oven/grill, microwave, integrated dishwasher, fridge and a Kuppersbusch induction hob with Flexigrill. A spacious utility room with separate sink provides extensive storage with two double fitted cupboards. From the utility, there is access to a private study, overlooking the rear garden, with an internal door to the garage.
First floor
The bespoke staircase continues to the first-floor landing, where the bedroom accommodation unfolds gracefully.
The principal suite is of particular note, offering a generous dual-aspect bedroom with air-conditioning, a well-appointed ensuite bathroom, and a beautifully fitted dressing room with bespoke wardrobes, shelving, and dressing table. French doors open onto a private balcony with views across the rear garden.
Bedroom 2 is a double, positioned at the rear with garden views and a fitted double wardrobe.
Bedroom 3 is also a double and presently arranged as a study.
Bedroom 4 currently used as an additional dressing room, features modern fitted wardrobes.
Bedroom 5 enjoys a front aspect and includes a fitted double wardrobe.
A bright, family bathroom serves these rooms, complete with separate bath and hand shower, shower cubicle, and pedestal basin. Access via loft ladder leads to a spacious, partially boarded loft.
Gardens
The landscaped rear garden is a particular highlight, offering excellent privacy and a serene wooded outlook. A large block-paved patio with dwarf brick walling and external lighting creates an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs, trees, and fencing.
A charming summerhouse with lighting provides a flexible additional space for entertaining or home working. There is also a garden shed and an outside water tap for convenience.
Garage
Accessed via an electrically operated up-and-over door, the garage benefits from light, power, and a separate hot and cold water tap. It houses the newly installed boiler and features a bespoke ‘Garagetek’ wall storage system.
Location
Gerrards Cross offers a wide range of amenities, including Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, independent boutiques, restaurants, public houses, an Everyman Cinema, East & West Common, and a community library.
For commuters, the motorway network is easily accessible via Junction 1 (Denham) or Junction 2 (Beaconsfield) of the M40, linking to the M25, M1, M4, and Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The railway station provides a fast Chiltern Railways service to London Marylebone (from 18 minutes).
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its outstanding educational options, including excellent state, grammar, and private schools.
