Part of our Signature collection, this substantial 5 bedroom detached house stands in delightful grounds of just over 1/3 of an acre, in a prominent position close to the church in this popular rural village.

Churchfields has been modernised over the past 12 months and benefits from new double glazed windows, oil central heating, recently fitted bathroom, ensuite and kitchen. The house sits in the middle of the plot and is well screened from the road by neatly clipped hedging.

There is a covered open porch with contemporary glazed entrance door to the hall, where modern stairs with glass balustrade lead to the first-floor. At one end is a cloakroom and at the other is the entrance to the sitting room, a wonderful light-filled room with dual aspect, including French doors leading out to the covered veranda. At the centre of the room is a modern fireplace, whilst an opening leads through to the snug, where further French doors open to the rear garden.

The kitchen can be accessed from either the hall or snug and is beautifully appointed, with micro-cement worksurfaces and matching splashbacks. Along one wall is a bank of storage cupboards which includes built-in appliances, the fridge and freezer and two ovens. Further appliances include a four ring induction hob with draw down extractor and integral dishwasher. A window overlooks the garden, whilst tiled flooring flows through into the breakfast room with a walk-in pantry and French doors leading out to the veranda. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large utility with ample storage, sink, plumbing for a washing machine, the oil fired boiler, and doors leading outside and to the garage.

On the first floor landing there are numerous storage cupboards, including a double door airing cupboard with pressurised system. With five bedrooms on the first floor of varying size and facilities there is a choice of principal bedroom. Bedroom one has an eaves store and door leading through to a new ensuite bathroom and the second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has an ensuite wet room. Bedroom three is also a good size double bedroom whilst there are two further single bedrooms, one currently used as a study and both with built-in storage. Finally on the first floor is a large bathroom with venetian plastered walls, walk-in shower and free standing roll topped bath with claw and ball feet. Churchfields is screened from the street by neatly clipped hedging with a concrete drive providing ample parking and leading to the integral oversized double garage with electric door and access to either side of the house. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees on the boundary.

There is a gate to the rear garden which has a 34' wide covered veranda with lighting, leading out to the patio and then lawns with well stocked curved shrub beds, mature trees, and boundary hedging to the rear. In total, the plot extends to approximately 0.35 of an acre and forms a delightful setting to the house.
