From the Owners PerspectiveWe have lived here for over 40 years, cherishing its unique charm and creating countless memories. Now, in our later years, we feel it’s time to pass this special home to a younger family to enjoy. We moved in during our late 30s, hosting weddings and parties in the extensive grounds, once home to horses and now beautifully landscaped. Over time, we’ve reinstated a grass tennis court, added an outdoor covered BBQ area with water and electrics, and planted numerous trees, including pleached Hornbeams, Silver Birches, and a stunning Walnut tree. Our grandsons love practising football on the expansive lawns, and the sunken garden, with its Acers, Hostas, and Magnolias, is a magical space. A hidden fruit cage, mature herbaceous borders, and watering systems further enhance the gardens.The house, designed by renowned architect Frank Tugwell, spans four floors. The cellars, bright and accessible, offer potential for conversion, while the main floor centres around a welcoming kitchen with an Aga, complemented by contemporary interiors and original Arts and Crafts features, including unique fireplaces and stunning parquet floors. The first floor boasts spacious bedrooms with spectacular views, and the top floor, previously children’s rooms, now serves as an office and guest space, with potential for a self-contained apartment. Protected by solid oak electric gates, the property feels like a safe haven. Our son’s nearby converted coach house adds to this sense of security and connection. The South-facing patio offers breathtaking views of the 3.2 acres down to the river, where we’ve loved watching ships sail past. As Tom Boyd, the previous owner, told us, we are merely custodians of Beacon Garth. It’s time to pass this beautiful home on, carrying with us a lifetime of wonderful memories.
