DESCRIPTION
Springfield is a most attractive detached Georgian house which offers spacious modernised accommodation with lots of character and many original features including original fireplaces, original doors and flagstone floors. The home has been sympathetically updated by its owners whilst retaining its original charm and is now a practical home ideal for a large family. The property has an elegant reception hall. There is a family sized farmhouse style kitchen with Aga, a large sitting/dining room
(previously two separate reception rooms), and a more formal drawing room. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, plus a bathroom and a shower room. The property benefits from gas central heating. To the side of the property is a useful addition which offers potential as a separate annexe, if required. This space is presently used as a second kitchen with storeroom off and there is a staircase leading up to a study or fifth bedroom and cloakroom. This area could be self-contained if required (subject to necessary planning and building consents). To the rear of the ground floor there is a bootroom, utility room and bedroom/office with cloakroom off, recently used as a treatment room, with its own separate external entrance door.
Springfield is set in secluded mainly walled and mature level gardens. These have been well maintained and stocked and are sure to appeal to keen gardeners and are also secure at the rear making them safe for young children and pets.
