Description

Set off a quiet no through lane and approached via a gated entrance, this beautifully light and well presented home occupies an outstanding hillside position with captivating views.

Additionally , a single car garage provides convenience and extra storage upstairs, whilst a workshop behind the garage offers a dedicated space for pursing hobbies or DIY projects.

Without doubt, Chew Magna is one of the most sought after and popular villages within our region, not least for the glorious countryside, the delightful mix of independent shops, restaurants and pubs, the highly regarded schooling and swift accessibility to Bristol, Bath and the airport. The home was originally built in the 1950’s and significantly remodelled and extended by subsequent owners. The highlight of the house is the expansive open plan kitchen/dining room, perfect for those who love to entertain or enjoy quality family time. This generous space allows for seamless flow between cooking, dining and socialising creating a vibrant inviting atmosphere. The gardens are a very special feature of the property having undergone meticulous and professional landscaping ensuring a visually stunning outdoor space that complements the natural beauty of the surrounds.

A smart glazed entrance porch opens to the inner entrance hall with neat, built in storage cupboards and with a pair of glazed doors directly ahead, allowing the panoramic view and the light from the large window in the living room to flood through. The kitchen/breakfast room is set to the right of the hall with an expanse of Limestone flooring and a fine triple aspect with doors opening directly to the rear decked sun terrace. The kitchen is well appointed with a mixture of granite and wood work surfaces with a generous central island unit. Appliances include the Falcon, five burner range cooker, integrated Neff microwave, dishwasher and space for a larder fridge with integrated freezer alongside. Approached from either the hallway or the kitchen is a superbly light living room with a magnificent picture window running almost the full width of one wall and a perfect place to take in the view, stretching over the garden, the adjacent farmland beyond and the village church.
There are four double bedrooms, the principal bedroom, again with wonderful views has a door directly to the garden and built-in wardrobes across the full width of one wall, the guest bedroom suite also benefits from its own ensuite WC. The elegant family bathroom is finished with Limestone floor and wall tiling, walk-in shower, dual ended bath and vitro enamel basin set into a wall hung vanity unit.

A small boiler room houses the Worcester oil fired central heating boiler and provides a handy space for drying outdoor footwear and clothing.

The owners have recently completed and built a very smart and substantial boundary wall with a gravel pathway, leading beyond the bonded oil tank to a sandstone terrace that wraps around the property. This is a wonderful area for taking in the views and entertaining family and friends, with a small flight of stone steps leading down to a level area of lawn with Espalier fruit trees and a fragrant honeysuckle to the rear. In the far corner of the garden is a large, timber shed, providing plenty of space for storage of garden machinery. Alongside the kitchen is a gravelled barbeque with a log store and greenhouse.
