High Street, East Harptree

Winterfell is a large detached property built by the present owners some eight years ago.  Designed with a forward thinking floorplan to the hall floor with a fantastic open plan sunny entrance hallway and a large picture window overlooking open fields.  The hallway continues through into a light and airy room which, although currently open plan to the entrance hallway, could so easily be separated by double doors making for a generous snug room, study or playroom.  To the left, a door accesses the really gorgeous sitting room, having bifolding doors overlooking the front with open fields beyond, there is also an attractive woodburning stove.  The dining area again has bifolding doors opening through to the well tendered rear gardens.  The open plan flow of the downstairs continues through to the extremely well planned and attractive dual colour kitchen which includes a generous breakfast bar, beautiful quartz worktops and a fantastic range of floor to ceiling storage cabinetry incorporating a space for a large American fridge freezer (the current appliance may be available under separate negotiation) appliances including a Neff double oven, separate Neff 'Slide and Hide' single oven and Neff built in microwave. Overlooking the rear gardens and being open plan to the dining and sitting rooms, the kitchen really is the heart of the home at Winterfell.   A very handy and generous utility leads from the kitchen with a stable door to the gardens, a WC leads from the utility area and a pedestrian door into the double garage with electric garage door.

From the entrance hallway, an attractive oak staircase leads to the first floor with the large picture window letting light flood in to the entire staircase and landing.  Four double bedrooms to this floor share a generous and beautifully presented family bathroom with freestanding roll top bath and large separate shower unit.  The principal bedroom overlooks open fields beyond the driveway and has a generous ensuite with full bath and shower over, again immaculately presented.  Bedroom four incorporates a staircase leading to the very well converted attic studio space with velux windows and eaves storage, suitable for many uses but in particular this space would be ideal for teenagers, a music room,library, rumpus room or simply easy to access storage.

To the outside, Winterfell is accessed by a private driveway adjacent to open fields to the right.  Timber gates open through to parking for a number of vehicles and in turn lead to the pretty area of generous patio to the side of the house with raised flower beds and further to the rear gardens.  Laid to level lawn, again with generous patio spaces and stone walled planters, the rear gardens are a delight and very much in keeping with the property having been cleverly designed by the present owners.
