Accommodation
Few houses enjoy a position quite so central within a village while maintaining complete privacy and expanse of grounds as Springwood. The house is situated just a few hundred yards from the village centre where there is the church and picturesque River Brue Adjacent. Set well back from the village lane, the house is accessed from the parking area directly in front of the door.Upon entering the property the front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with underfloor heating storage underneath the stairs, and a cloakroom. The snug is located on the right hand side of the hall and subsequently leads through to the sitting room. The snug itself has patio doors and a lovely open fireplace with Ham Stone surround and timber mantel.

*
The sitting room is a most impressive living space with full height vaulted ceiling, exposed timber work and oak flooring. The high ceiling gives a great feeling of space, as does the dual aspect allowing light to pour in. The kitchen breakfast room enjoys direct access out to the garden, as well as a continuation of the underfloor heating from the hall into the dining area. The kitchen itself has granite worktops, twin ovens, an induction hob and breakfast bar. By the dining area there is a lovely bay in which to sit and relax, too. Leading off the kitchen there is a pantry and a utility room with garden access. The dining room is located at the rear of the house with a great view of the garden and a double aspect.

*
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which being double rooms with built in wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room too. The further three rooms have use of the family bathroom which has a bath, separate shower, basin and w/c.

Outside
The gardens and grounds of Springwood really set it apart from otherwise similar properties in the area. Not only is there a fabulous driveway approach; flanked by a lawned garden with fruit trees, to the front, but to the rear there is a magical expanse of garden full of mature trees. Among the trees, there are silver birch, willow, birch and beech. There is a sunny seating terrace, a pond, and plenty of storage in the wood shed too. This is the perfect garden for summer family gatherings. It is worth noting too that the garden is fully enclosed with pet proof fencing. Beyond the gardens there is open countryside.

Places of interest

    About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decades of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Wells, Somerton and Castle Cary and covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of widespread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property, an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion.  Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE SELLING RIGHTS – one agent is instructed to sell a property and a commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion.  The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI-AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion.  Again this is usually at a higher rate than sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property. Lettings We offer landlords a full residential lettings service covering every aspect of the market. This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a client's needs. Our services are transparent and clearly stated. About You Above are details “about us” and our service. However, this is really about you. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to search for the right type of property in the right area and in the right price range. We very much hope it works for you. Call us now on the number displayed or press the Contact Agent button- we look forward to hearing from you.
