Council tax band: F

A stylish detached architect-designed home tucked away in the heart of the highly popular village of Hawkesbury Upton which boasts a generous 0.85 acre plot and a spectacular outlook across open farmland and towards the revered Somerset Monument.

Built in 2003 the property offers generous accommodation arranged over two floors, in more recent years it has been adapted to provide flexible living which now includes a downstairs bedroom and adjoining office, alongside a beautifully presented shower room.

A good-size entrance hallway connects this space to the primary living accommodation and has hardwood flooring throughout. The 27' sitting room is a wonderful space spanning the depth of the property with a log-burning stove, a box bay window to the front and glazed doors connecting to both the kitchen and the rear garden.

The kitchen/diner/family room is the star of the show offering a range of contemporary, high gloss kitchen units and space for a good size table. The kitchen is open through to the large conservatory making for a convivial entertaining space.

The conservatory enjoys a wonderful outlook across the garden and has a large Morso log-burning stove as a fabulous focal point, alongside hard wearing tiled flooring ideal for busy family life. A spacious utility/boot room leads off of the kitchen offering plenty of space for laundry appliances, a sink and drainer and a door connecting to the garden.

Upstairs a generous galleried landing serves four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant outlook. The master bedroom provides a particularly good view across open farmland and has a good-size ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is equipped with a contemporary white suite and a free-standing double-ended bath.

Outside, the property is accessed via a driveway serving just two properties and provides dedicated off street parking for two vehicles. There is gated side access leading to the rear garden which is level and substantial and boasts far-reaching views. A patio adjoins the house and is ideal for entertaining, while a further hard standing is ready for a summerhouse or garden room. The lower section of garden which has been previously used for livestock also has a useful shelter.
