Beech Villa is an impressive Victorian home on the edge of Kirkby Stephen.
Kirkby Stephen has highly regarded primary and grammar schools as well as a good range of shops, restaurants & pubs, church & chapel, and doctor's surgery. There is still a weekly outdoor market and an agricultural auction mart. The town is just ten miles from junction 38 of the M6 motorway and is well placed for Kendal, Penrith, Appleby and the Lake District. The scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway is on the doorstep and the Coast to Coast and Lady Ann footpaths run through.
Beech Villa is believed to date back to 1876, originally built for the directors of the Settle - Carlisle railway line. The property has many original features as well as the high ceilings and generous apportioned rooms one expects in a Victorian house. The property has been a loving family home for the past 5 years, the current owners have undertaken work and improvements throughout.
As you step into Beech Villa, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting entrance porch leading into the hallway, which showcases a beautiful turned staircase, original stained glass windows, and elegant cast-iron radiators. There are two spacious and light-filled receptions rooms, a sitting and dining room with partition doors between them. To the rear is a recently installed and well-appointed family kitchen, complete with underfloor heating and direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, the home provides generous size bedrooms. On the first floor are three, large bedrooms and a separate home office. There is also a family bathroom and additional WC. Unique features such as a former servant staircase and feature windows further enhance the property’s appeal.
On the second floor is a master suite with a spacious double bedroom, sitting room and en suite shower room. This space is a perfect master suite or teenage bedroom.
Outside, the gardens are primarily to the side and the front of the house. The gardens have been landscaped to create a large, low maintenance south facing patio space complete with brick built BBQ/ pizza oven. There is another raised patio area with well established borders. The gardens to the front are low maintenance with gravel, block paved pathway.
Set in a convenient location, this home is perfect for those seeking character, comfort, and space in a beautifully maintained setting.
