Property description
Built in 1970 as a modern farmhouse, Springfield was superbly designed to maximise enjoyment of its superb, rural position, with the majority of the rooms enjoying far-reaching countryside views. The spacious accommodation of about 3700 sq ft is set over two floors, and offers a degree of versatility.
The front porch opens to an impressive dining hall, which has a conservatory to one end. From the hall there is access to the family room which can be a more intimate dining room. The sitting room is adjacent. Across the hall is the kitchen, which is a large, sociable hub to the home, with ample space for food preparation and family mealtimes, along with relaxation in the glazed garden room end. This links through to the conservatory, thus creating a fabulous flow to the home.
The boot room and shower room are to the side of the house, and the useful utility room, links to the garage.
Stairs rise from the dining hall, to the galleried, first floor landing, which serves each of the four, double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a full ensuite bathroom. There remaining three bedrooms have use of the family bathroom, which has a separate WC, adjacent. There is a large, walk-in storage cupboard, which perhaps offers scope for conversion to a further shower room.
The house sits at the end of the gated drive, nicely back from the roadside and enjoying good privacy. The lawned gardens, with maturing trees, wrap-around the house. The rear boundary is formed by a ha-ha, and therefore the panoramic view is uninterrupted.
