Beech House is a substantial period family home dating back in parts to the 18th century with Victorian additions and has been a family home for the present occupants for the last 23 years.
It is set in the heart of Scarrington in the Conservation Area, a beautiful village close to the A52 and located a few miles from the market town of Bingham.
Over the last two decades the present owners have sympathetically refurbished and remodelled the property in keeping with the period, they upgraded the central heating boiler two years ago and have generally kept the property in excellent order throughout.
The floor area associated with the accommodation is vast, extending to over 5000 sq ft and with a versatile layout incorporating conversion of a number of the former outbuildings, the property has great scope to accommodate possibly two families or to run a business from home utilising all the office space.
Set in its own private walled gardens with a number of mature trees, the property enjoys privacy and seclusion, approached over a long tarmac drive and then through electric gates. Perfect for commuters the village lies only a mile or so from the A52 just east of the market town of Bingham, close to the cities of Nottingham and Leicester. With the newly dualled A46 giving fast road access to Leicester and the M1 only some 2-3 miles away, there are also train facilities in nearby Bingham with links to the Nottingham and Grantham stations and from Grantham there is a fast train to King's Cross in just over an hour.
In adjacent villages there are excellent primary schools at Aslockton and Orston, there is a secondary school in Bingham as well as a range of shopping amenities, leisure facilities, doctors, dentists and a market on Thursdays.
