Bentworth, Alton, Hampshire

An impressive detached country residence set within beautifully landscaped grounds of approximately 0.57 acres, enjoying uninterrupted views across surrounding farmland.

Beech Copse is an elegant and thoughtfully updated home, enhanced significantly by the current owners to create a bright, spacious, and inviting living environment. Many of the rooms benefit from picturesque outlooks over the gardens and neighbouring countryside.

The ground floor opens into a striking galleried reception hall with a vaulted ceiling, setting the tone for the rest of the home. A dual-aspect sitting room features double doors leading out to the front garden, while a cosy family room with a double-sided log burner flows seamlessly into the dining room, which in turn opens onto the garden via French doors. The recently installed bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is superbly appointed, offering a wide selection of base units, integrated AEG appliances, and a stylish central island with induction hob. This space extends directly onto a generous terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Double doors lead from the kitchen into a conservatory, which overlooks the heated swimming pool and open fields beyond. Both the kitchen and conservatory benefit from underfloor heating. Additional ground floor features include a spacious utility room with external access, a practical boot room area, and a shower room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite offers a luxurious retreat, complete with fitted wardrobes, a dressing area, en suite shower room, and two balconies that take full advantage of the far-reaching views. Three further bedrooms are served by a recently updated family bathroom.

The property is accessed via a traditional five-bar gate, opening onto a large gravel driveway with ample parking and access to a detached garden store. The gardens, which wrap around the house to the south, west, and east, are attractively landscaped with mature planting providing year-round interest. Expanses of lawn create excellent space for recreation, while a substantial terrace is perfect for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. A standout feature is the heated swimming pool, powered by a modern air source heat pump, allowing for extended use from spring through to autumn. The grounds offer a high degree of privacy, enjoy sunlight throughout the day, and provide exceptional views over the surrounding countryside.
