42 Southfield Drive, Brimsmore

Approach

This design of house was on the original brochure front cover as it was deemed as the 'superior' design of home for the range of properties made available to the market and finished in an attractive white render.
Approach to the property initially is through the impressive Hamstone West Gate entrance off Thorne Lane to the North of Yeovil. The entrance of the development is designed in a Bath townhouse fashion and exudes quality and charm. This particular property is set on a no-through road which offers privacy, space and above all, the feeling of arriving home as you pull up to the front door.
The Canford design of property is almost a picture perfect house design.

Ground Floor

Upon entering, you are immediately taken by the tasteful contrast of bold colours and added features which compliment the exterior design and create a continuation of the welcoming aspect of this fine home. Distribution on this floor includes a full length sitting room with front sash windows, feature multi-fuel stove and rear aspect French doors all with bespoke blinds.
To the rear of the entrance hallway is a practical downstairs cloakroom, however the main attraction is the full length kitchen and dining area which creates a comfortable homely space. The kitchen is to the original development specification and therefore of a high quality, in addition to this fine base the current owners have added bespoke fittings and fixtures which again compliment the overall original design of the home. Off the rear of the kitchen/dining area is a separate Utility area with its own individual external door to the rear garden.

First Floor

An impressive staircase leads from the ground floor to the spacious landing which in turn provides access to the main bathroom with the welcome option of either having a nice soak in the bath or a more practical rinse in the separate shower. Fully tiled and complimented with a range of contemporary finishes. There are then 2 double bedrooms, the front is currently used as a home office as there is high speed broadband available.
The principal bedroom (wider than a standard 5 bedroom house in Brimsmore) is everything you would hope for in a modern home, with width, depth, built-in storage and its own tastefully designed, full-sized en-suite.

Top Floor

With 2 double bedrooms with front and rear aspect windows, lots of storage, including on the landing itself and a shower room with WC, this is ideal for the kids or visitors.

Rear Garden

Spacious, wider and more private than any garden I have been in personally in the Brimsmore development. This is a glorious space with initial patio area providing access to the driveway with a side gate, access from the kitchen, access from the utility and access from the sitting room, really there is no excuse not to step out and enjoy the fresh air. The main lawn has been replaced with a weatherproof, lazy-lawn, no lawn mower required! To the rear the owners have built a raised terrace with covered space including an electric heating element for those colder nights and this is framed by an almost tropical background of mature firs and plants. And believe me, the sound on the roof when it rains is absolutely glorious.

Parking and Garage

Accessed is over a shared shingle drive with your own private parking space which in turn provides access to the garage and then gated access to the rear of the house and garden.
