A five-bedroom house dating back to the Georgian era has come up for sale in the centre of Loddon for £1.6m.

The Beeches is constructed of traditional red brick under a pantile roof and is believed to date back to the late 18th century. It was mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner’s Buildings of England series.

Will Mullan, director at Strutt & Parker, says: “The Beeches has been owned and lived in for a number of years by the existing owners, who have meticulously maintained and restored the property and beautifully landscaped the private gardens.”

Lawned gardens – which are perfectly manicured – sit to the north of the property, along with a swimming pool and a variety of shrubs and trees. All are enclosed by a garden wall that has a pedestrian gate leading on to the high street.
