THE PROPERTY Springfield is an attractive 1930s property which represents the ideal family home within the delightful setting of a popular village. Having been under the same ownership for the past 25 years, the property has been thoughtfully cared for and adapted to suit the needs of the busy modern family, yet scope remains for an incoming purchaser to make sympathetic alterations if desired. A new owner will also have the opportunity to extend the property to the rear, subject to any necessary consents being obtained. From the first floor, stunning views stretch across the countryside surrounding the village, with the church tower of neighbouring Middle Chinnock visible from the rear. Each of the 3 bedrooms enjoys a delightful outlook, with the two largest enjoying views across the rooftops of the characterful properties opposite towards the fields beyond. ` (`) Internally the accommodation bears characteristic hallmarks of 1930s architecture, including high ceilings and picture rails in many rooms. There are 3 reception rooms providing ample living spaces to suit the modern family; the delightful sitting room is comfortable and homely with a gas fire, whilst the inviting conservatory is a relaxing and sheltered place from which to enjoy views across the gardens at any time of year, with double glass doors to the sun terrace allowing an indoor/outdoor lifestyle when weather allows. Located adjacent to the kitchen, the third reception room is a versatile space suitable for use as a formal dining room, home office or snug, ensuring that the ideal environment is available for every purpose. The kitchen is perfectly set up for family life with a range of fitted units providing ample storage as well as space for a dining table, creating a convenient, sociable atmosphere. Domestically, the property is well appointed to handle the stresses of modern life. Entering the property through the back door, you are welcomed into a useful porch which, with a tiled floor and coat hooks, is the perfect place to remove outdoor clothes and shoes before stepping into the utility room. With plumbing for a washing machine and an airing cupboard, this room is ideally set up for laundry as well as to support the kitchen. There is also a ground floor cloakroom which can be accessed from the utility room. From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing, on which a window to the rear serves the dual purpose of ensuring a wealth of natural light and giving the first glimpse of the stunning countryside stretching beyond the garden. The three bedrooms are similarly fortunate in the views available, including those with windows to the front aspect. Two of the bedrooms enjoy generous double proportions, with the master bedroom stretching the full depth of the house and also benefitting from built in storage. Bedroom 3 is a healthy single, again with fitted wardrobes, making this an ideal child's or guest bedroom which could also lend itself to use as a study if required. Also accessed from the first floor landing are the bathroom and a separate WC. OUTSIDE Springfield stands near the centre of a generous, mature plot amounting to approximately 0.25 of an acre. The property is approached via double gates which open onto a driveway offering off road parking for a number of vehicles, ensuring a sense of separation from the village road and security for children and dogs. Gardens surround the house on three sides with a level lawn to the front and side and a paved sun terrace to the rear, from which steps lead up to an upper lawn which backs directly onto open fields. Privacy is ensured with hedges bordering the garden, making this the perfect setting in which to enjoy spending time out of doors, from relaxing and dining al fresco beneath the pergola, over which a mature grapevine is established, to playing outdoor games on either lawn. Ample storage for garden furniture and equipment is provided in a sizeable shed on the upper lawn, which benefits from power and light, and in the garage which can be accessed from the driveway.
