Picturesque village location

HIGH STREET, WEST LYDFORD, TA11 7DG

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.
