A fantastic detached family home tucked away on the edge of this delightful village with unspoilt countryside views and a superb annexe (currently used as a recording studio.)

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away on the edge of the most picturesque village of Hooke and approached by a very pretty gravelled driveway, first glimpses of Springfield are most impressive with its attractive stone facade under a pitched slate roof.
The property underwent a fastidious programme of works in 2003/2004, and is now immaculately presented and takes full advantage of the peaceful and tranquil position with unspoilt countryside views and the wonderful sound of birdsong and the meandering river echoing around the garden.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a large hallway with stripped wooden flooring and currently used as a study area. To one side of the hallway is a magnificent and perfectly proportioned sitting room with sliding glass doors giving access to a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. There is a Stovax wood burning stove and a huge amount of natural light.
The family kitchen is quite simply 'as good as it gets' with a large dining area and plenty of room for a breakfast/dining table, with a kitchen area to the other end incorporating a range of pretty wall and base units and large breakfast bar. There are again sliding doors opening out to the garden and taking full advantage of the superb views. On the ground floor is a utility room and a perfect sized bedroom and separate shower room, ideal for guests or an elderly relative.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with three beautiful bedrooms all with superb views. There is also a family bath and shower room and large boarded loft.
The delightful garden surrounds the house and is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders and many areas to sit and enjoy this truly magnificent location.
To the side of the house is a superb separate barn/studio, purpose built and acoustically treated with complete sound insulation inside and out, and currently used as a very successful recording/mixing studio, with patio doors, Velux windows and a mezzanine floor. This could of course have a number of alternative uses, including extra living accommodation.
