Springfield Close, Cross

7 Springfield Close is nestled amongst just a small handful of individual detached houses in an exclusive leafy development constructed 22 years ago. Occupying arguably the finest position within the cul de sac, this four-bedroom executive home sits in a beautiful south/westerly plot, with supreme privacy, generous parking, and a fabulous rural outlook.

The property is approached via a shingle driveway which continues to the side of the house offering plentiful parking to the rear and access to a detached double garage (currently a studio). A stone pathway flanks the driveway to one side with matures trees and shrubs affording the property its excellent privacy.

Entering through the pretty tiled storm porch you continue into a welcoming reception hallway, off which you can access most of the ground floor rooms. A sweeping period styled staircase rises to the first floor, under which is a useful store cupboard, there is also a handy cloakroom and a smart Karndean floor inlayed with a feature nautical star. To the right of the hallway there is a formal dining room and a good-sized home office. To the rear of the hallway lies the impressive triple aspect sitting room, a fantastic light filled room which features a wonderful open fireplace with a handsome Minster style surround. French doors to the side of the room lead out to a south facing terrace and to the garden.

To the left of the hallway, you will find the superb kitchen/dining/family room and utility. This superb space is perfect for larger families to congregate and enjoy social and mealtimes together. The kitchen area features a substantial range of traditional shaker style units with a contrasting granite effect countertop. There are twin eye level ovens, plumbing for a dishwasher, four ring gas hob with a canopy extractor hood over and there is also space for a fridge/freezer in an additional run of units that occupies the side wall. A free-standing island unit with a wood block work surface provides a great breakfast bar area for informal dining and entertaining guests. Adding extra practicality and more handy units is a separate utility room with plumbing for white goods and a door leading out to the garden.

Finally completing the ground floor accommodation is a super, dual aspect family room/snug, ideal for relaxing after supper or enjoying a little day time T.V in peace and quiet. There are also French doors which link to the raised terrace that sits above the garden.

Moving onto the first floor there is a generous and attractive galleried landing area off which you will find the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The Master bedroom is an impressive and stylish room which features a plethora of fitted wardrobes and a delightful triple aspect, with an outlook over the garden and surrounding fields to one side. This spacious room also features a well-appointed en-suite bathroom which is fitted with a contemporary white suite with stone effect tiles and a shower over the bath.

The three further bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and good-sized rooms. Completing the first-floor rooms is the luxurious family bathroom which has a gorgeous claw foot bath and a lovely traditional white suite.

Outside, the property is blessed with a fabulous south/westerly mature garden which has been skilfully and meticulously landscaped to make the most of the incredible setting. Adjacent to the house is a large stone patio area which is perfect for outside entertaining and al fresco dining. A pond creates a wonderful feature and thoughtful planting of architectural plants and flowers provide a generous splash of colour. There is also a second terrace to the side of the house which is shaded by a well-positioned pergola.

Below the sun terrace is a large lawned area with plenty of space for children’s play equipment, an area of raised vegetable beds, garden shed and a gate to the side. From the garden you can glimpse incredible views up to the Mendip Hills and out to the surrounding countryside, in addition the property also sits alongside a designated area of nature reserve that attracts all sort of local wildlife.

Finally, the property benefits from a discrete parking area which could accommodate as many as six or seven cars along with a double garage. The double garage has been decorated internally and the garage doors boxed in as it is currently being utilised as a home studio and has lots of scope for use as a home office, yoga/dance studio or a great kids play room.
