Description

DESCRIPTION ** An exquisite detached five bedroom family home on the outskirts of the popular village of Chilcompton. It has been extended and vastly improved by the current owners to create a practical family home with brilliant proportions. The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall with a tiled floor, downstairs shower room and storage space for shoes and coats under the stairs. The large living room is dual aspect and features a gas fire with stone surround. A study leads from the hall, again dual aspect and a perfect space for a home office. A formal dining room leads between the hall and kitchen, currently arranged as a further sitting room it features a window to the side of the house and a built in display cabinet. At the rear of the house overlooking the gardens is the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, a large open plan space with ample units, built in NEFF appliances and space to comfortably accommodate a table for 8 - 12 people. The kitchen also features a built in sound system, French doors onto a large patio and walk in larder. From the kitchen is the utility room with a sink and drainer unit, units, an airing cupboard, boiler cupboard and door onto the garden. The first floor opens out to a galleried landing leading to all five double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one has a range of fitted wardrobes and chest of drawers, an ensuite shower room with fitted units and French doors opening onto a balcony. Bedroom two, again has access to the balcony from French doors. Three further double bedrooms, one of which having gorgeous views over open countryside and a bathroom with bath, seperate double shower complete the accommodation.  

OUTSIDE On approaching the house is a large driveway to the front and side which allows parking for at least 5 cars and leads to the double garage. The front garden is mainly grass with a verity of shrubs, bushes and stone walling. The rear garden features a beautiful patio area, a perfect area for outside entertaining with French doors opening from the kitchen. The garden wraps around the back and the side of the house, predominantly grass with climbing plants, box hedging and enclosed by stone walling and wooden fencing. The larger than average double garage was completed in 2011, built to a high specification it offers the potential to create ancillary accommodation in the form of either an annexe or office (subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission). The building is double skinned with electric, plumbing, windows, French doors and a large loft space. The garage currently has two electric up and over doors with key fobs and can either be accessed from the driveway or from the garden.
