4 bedroom detached house

Description

Rowan House is an attractive detached house set towards the edge of the desirable village of Great Somerford, within convenient walking distance to the primary school, village shop and pub. The property offers well-appointed family sized accommodation which is naturally light with large windows accentuated with good ceiling height. Extending in all to 2,327 sq.ft., the accommodation has been remodelled and greatly updated over the years to be immaculately presented throughout. 

The ground floor layout includes a dual-aspect living room with patio doors out to a side terrace and a fireplace with a Jet Master open fire. The kitchen/dining room has been remodelled as a large open plan area benefitting from a triple aspect and further patio doors out to the rear garden. The kitchen/dining room and adjoining utility room are warmed with underfloor heating. There is an additional reception room fitted as a study which also leads out to the rear garden. A downstairs WC is located off the hallway. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms all with fitted storage. The modern family bathroom has a shower over the bath, whilst the principal bedroom has a full en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower. 

Set behind stone walling within a 0.21 acre plot, the property is entered through a five-bar gate opening to a large gravelled parking bay and vibrant flower borders. Double timber gates to the side of the house allows vehicular access to the double garage. The garage has lighting, power and boarded loft storage above accessed by a fitted ladder. The rear garden is laid mostly to lawn with a patio terrace, landscaped edging and has a good-degree of privacy. 

Planning permission was granted in March 2022 (reference PL/2021/11838) to demolish the existing garage and largely extend the house further at the side and rear. The plans include a replacement integrated garage, creating an additional reception room, and enlarging the principal bedroom suite with a dressing room.
