How will you use the flexible living space in your Beechcroft apartment?

Discover how the flexible hall space in Beechcroft apartments can be styled as a dining room, library, study or welcoming hallway to suit your lifestyle.

For over 40 years, Beechcroft has been creating elegant homes for the over 55s which provide an abundance of living space regardless of the number of bedrooms. Today, flexible living space has become a feature of many Beechcroft apartments with many of the new homes featuring glazed double doors between the principal rooms which may be opened up to create superb entertaining space. One of the innovations in Beechcroft’s apartment design, however, is the central hall at the heart of the home.

With a comfortable chair and selected items of elegant but practical furniture, the space becomes a welcoming hallway, which sets the tone for the remainder of the apartment. Add a dining table, chairs and perhaps a sideboard and it becomes a formal dining room, sufficiently spacious to entertain visiting friends and family; a place to enjoy a meal or celebrate a special occasion. For those who are fond of reading, shelving, relaxed seating and ambient lighting transform the room into a library and, for anyone who needs to work from home, the addition of a desk and storage will turn it into a study.

“Over the years, the formal dining room seems to have fallen out of favour with homebuyers although it is useful to have a room that can be used on special occasions when family and friends gather,” comments Angela South, Sales and Marketing Director for Beechcroft.
