The period drama life is almost within reach…
It’s not every day that a historic country estate hits the market – and the Bridgerton-style Beach House Estate is a real gem. Tucked away in a charming hamlet, it overlooks Herefordshire’s Golden Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just north of Bath.
Beach House Estate: This Bridgerton-Style Home Is Up For Sale
Just minutes away from the city of Bath, this unique estate commands breathtaking views of the Herefordshire countryside and the Golden Valley, a picture-perfect expanse of land that fills with daffodils every spring. When it comes to location, you can’t ask for much more – and that’s just the beginning.
The estate comprises a jaw-dropping 57 acres of grounds, parkland and farmland, with a Grade II listed main house and six further properties scattered throughout. This includes guest cottages, a handsome Dower House, and a games room with a bar and cinema.
At the heart of it all is, of course, the main house, which has been carefully refurbished to provide a host of modern luxuries. An elegant reception hall leads into a formal drawing room complete with an open fireplace, a huge bay window and intricate cornicing, while standing opposite is a dining room adorned with Gainsborough silk wall coverings.
The kitchen is particularly impressive, kitted out with Clive Christian fittings and a marble-topped island. Just next door is a gorgeous orangery (currently serving as a sitting room/dining area) which leads onto a large outdoor terrace. You’ll also spot a laundry room, a handy scullery kitchen and a study, plus another large living room overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, there’s a library and two bedroom suites, with four additional bedroom suites on the second floor (one of which is, in fact, set up as a soft play room). The real show-stopper is the principal suite, which encompasses a beautiful double dressing area and a Clive Christian bathroom. Across the landing, there’s a second huge dressing room complete with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and a marble-topped central cabinet.
The opulence continues in the estate’s Grade II listed Dower House, which contains a formal drawing room, a formal living room and two further sitting rooms alongside a large kitchen and five spacious bedrooms. The property even boasts its own front garden, an enclosed parking area, and a coach house at the rear.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, there are the grounds to explore: you can expect manicured lawns, sprawling terraces and a charming kitchen garden, plus two greenhouses, an orchard and a tennis court. You’ll even spot a willow tree reaching over a duck pond fed by a natural spring. It’s the ultimate countryside fantasy made thrillingly real – if you’ve got £13.95 million to spare.
