Springfield, Norton St. Philip, BA2

This stunning home has been transformed with a substantial extension and an extensive refurbishment to create open plan living with a perfect flow from room to room. This beautifully presented living area incorporates the kitchen, dining room, sitting room and playroom. The kitchen is handmade and hand-painted with cabinetry under a light granite work surface. The taller units include an integral fridge and freezer plus a larder and practical bin cupboard. Wooden style ‘Amtico’ flooring leads to the dining room with a wide window to the front and a wood burning stove. Opposite a glazed door leads straight out to the garden, so the perfect layout. Two steps down lead to a triple aspect sitting room over 34 feet long. A free-standing contemporary wood burner provides a focal point. On one side is the play area and the other the sitting area with the corner having glazed sliding windows bringing the garden in. Even the utility room has a style of its own with a most unique and uplifting splashback! The same Smallbone units as the kitchen provide plenty of storage, plus there is a cloakroom.

Up on the first floor the landing leads to four good sized bedrooms and a study. The stylish interior design continues with the family bathroom including a Japanese style bath by ‘Omnitub’. The private bathroom of the principal bedroom is also of note with a spacious walk-in shower, double doors from this bedroom are lovely to open at night and look out across the village roof tops to the tower of the 13th Century church.

The frontage of this fashionable home has been finished with a brick and paved area to provide plenty of parking. At the rear, there is also a drive with further parking and access into the garden. The level garden is enclosed and offers a different area for relaxing and playing. A terrace adjacent to the open plan kitchen area is the perfect spot for dining including a covered cooking nook. Either side of a central path are two areas of garden designed by the current owner for the children, one side is fitted by a sunken trampoline. At the far end is a further area that is now a hard standing but has planning to create a one bedroom annex.
