Tower House at Beckford Hall is an exceptional four-bedroom residence set within just under an acre of luscious, private gardens.
Forming part of the historic Beckford Hall, this remarkable Grade II listed home dates back to circa 1128, when it was originally established as an Augustinian priory. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the present Jacobean-style house was constructed in the 16th century and later served as a monk school. In the 1860s, the infamous ‘Great Fire of Beckford’ caused significant damage, leading to the rebuilding of the property into five separate dwellings, as it stands today.
The front of the property immediately impresses, welcoming you through a grand door into a spacious entrance hall. With a convenient coat cupboard to the left and ample room to receive guests, this striking entry sets the tone for the rest of the home.
From here, you are led into the ‘Panel Room’ - one of the Beckford Halls five unique feature rooms. This vast and characterful room, currently arranged as a combined living and dining area, provides an exceptional setting for entertaining. The adjoining kitchen is thoughtfully designed and perfectly positioned, offering both practicality and seamless connection to the main living space.
The first floor hosts a breathtaking office, bathed in natural light from expansive windows — an inspiring and tranquil workspace. Also on this level is a second reception room, currently arranged as a cosy living room, providing a comfortable retreat for relaxing evenings. The third bedroom, renovated by the current owners, is a bright and generously proportioned space, complemented by a spacious, modern bathroom finished to a high standard.
Occupying the second floor, the principal suite offers a sense of privacy and luxury. Entry is via a private dressing room, currently utilised as an additional bedroom for flexibility. A further spacious bathroom serves this level. The principal bedroom itself enjoys spectacular views across the gardens. Also on this floor is the fourth bedroom, uniquely positioned within the tower - the highest point of Beckford Hall - offering character and charm in abundance.
The basement level presents further versatility and could function as self-contained accommodation. It includes a large second bedroom, a substantial utility area which, with the addition of an oven, could serve as a second kitchen, and a third bathroom. A separate sauna is also located on this floor, creating a secluded and relaxing retreat away from the main living areas.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a detached double garage, ample private parking, and beautifully maintained gardens wrapping around two sides of the house. The grounds are fenced and offer both privacy and space, ideal for family living and outdoor entertaining.
This truly unique home, rich in history and architectural significance, is currently a much-loved family residence offering generous, stylish living spaces throughout.
