Streamleaze, Chew Magna

Rarely do properties such as Brookholme come to the market and so the team here at Debbie Fortune Estate Agents are thrilled to showcase such a wonderful family home in the heart of stunning Chew Magna. This unique property is a 'must see' for potential buyers.

The house was acquired by our Vendors in 2003 and has been the happiest of family homes over the past 22 years. Our Vendors having brought up their children in the property and have spent many Summers enjoying the garden, the children having attended the nearby primary school and later Chew Valley Secondary school.

The front elevation of this 1960's showstopper captivates the look and feel of the entire property. Walking through the front door to the open plan, split level, bright living spaces does not disappoint. The house is stylishly presented and offers a new owner a modern, versatile living space with generous gardens.

On entering, the vestibule entrance hallway flows through into the open plan sitting room which has a wonderful aspect over the front gardens to the trees lining the driveway. The spacious dining room overlooks the rear gardens and is open plan to the sitting room.

Underfloor heating to the whole of the ground floor and mezzanine level hugely benefits the property. A door from the dining room opens into a third reception room which is currently being used as the family gym. Being so versatile, this room would be ideal as a playroom, teenager den or a bedroom for a dependant relative. Access into the gym is also possible from the sitting room behind clever sliding doors giving the illusion of floor to ceiling built in cupboards. French doors in the gym lead straight to the outside decking and onwards to the gardens beyond.

From the Sitting room, light Oak stairs lead to a half landing which is bathed with light from the large picture window above the front door. To the left is an extremely multi functional bedroom or home study with light flooding in through the large apex window to the front and Velux window. This is an extremely versatile room with the advantage of having a beautifully fitted shower/ wet room next door. Through to the kitchen, a large lantern skylight window casts light over the entire room. The current owners made some wonderful choices when they designed and extended the property and the kitchen/ dining room now sits to the rear of the house taking in the stunning level gardens. Valentino kitchens of West Harptree undertook the design and build of the entire kitchen with cabinetry finished in white gloss having a smart black trim. A Rangemaster Professional + cooker with six gas burning plates and electric ovens below takes pride of place. The kitchen also has integrated Bosch dishwasher and a Bosch microwave oven is discreetly hidden away behind a roller fronted wall cabinet. There are larder cupboards to one wall of floor to ceiling cabinetry, including space for an American fridge/freezer, and there is a lovely peninsula breakfast bar for easy family dining. A large picture window looks over the stunning gardens and there is a door into the Utility room, fitted with matching cabinetry with plumbing and spaces for washing machine and tumble dryer.

The open dining area of the kitchen has large bifolding doors leading directly through to the rear balcony taking in the glorious gardens with steps leading to the extensive area of decking and onwards to the garden.

Returning to the house, the half landing from the kitchen has stairs leading to the bedrooms on the first floor. A generous landing accesses all three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principle bedroom sits to the rear of the house, having a large picture window to the gardens and door through to a generous en-suite which is beautifully fitted and very contemporary with clean lines and a large window. The second bedroom is to the front of the house again being of generous proportions looking over the front gardens. Bedroom three, again a double, sits to the front and has a built in wardrobe. From the landing, the family bathroom completes the accommodation to this floor and compliments the aesthetics of the property being beautifully tiled and presented, with a white suite including low level WC, wash hand basin and bath and Velux window.

Outside.

A private driveway leads from Streamleaze to Brookholme and the neighbouring property, arriving at an area which provides parking for a number of vehicles. There is a single garage with light and power, up and over door and separate pedestrian glazed door from the side of the house. The front garden, laid to level lawn, is open plan to the driveway and in keeping with the era of the house.

At the side of the property, large timber gates give access to another parking space, perfect for a caravan/ motorhome or boat. Beyond this is the stunning level lawned garden bordered by the Winford Brook to the rear of the sunny and private garden which is surrounded by a wonderful array of established and mature trees and shrubs. The garden wraps around the property with a large area of decking and handy storage space beneath the house, perfect for storing garden furniture throughout the seasons. Steps lead up from the decking to the balcony and through to the kitchen. To the side of the property there is an additional area of garden, perfect for a large shed or Summer house or vegetable garden.

The rear elevation of Brookholme really does display the work undertaken by the current owners who, along with their architect designed the most stunning of extensions, being Cedar clad and beautifully exhibiting the workmanship and thought invested into the property.

There are also three public houses nearby all of which are very popular eating pubs and a well thought of seafood restaurant.

The Cathedral City of Wells, which offers further facilities, is 14 miles to the south. The Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes are close by, notable for their fishing, birdlife, sailing and nature study amenities. A visit to Salt and Malt at Chew Valley Lake is highly recommended, as this modern tearoom/fish and chip restaurant is owned by the same family as The Pony and Trap.
