This stylish and versatile home offers split level accommodation with incredible flexibility to suit a family needs. 

'Foxmead' occupies a privileged position within the village, in a highly desirable private location which offers great seclusion and quiet and is yet within an easy walk of the shops, public houses, primary school and miles of glorious open countryside. The accommodation is well presented throughout, and beautifully decorated, thus offering a great turn key purchase

'Foxmead' is wonderfully positioned in a gently elevated plot just off 'Bell Square' Blagdon, one of the oldest settlements within the village. Arriving at the property there is a spacious and attractive brick paved driveway that offers more than ample parking for several vehicles and leads to a tandem garage to the left of the house. The first impression of the striking property is truly impressive, built in a contemporary villa style with white washed elevations, a clay tiled roof, and chic grey windows. Entering the house you are greeted by a handy useful entrance vestibule with a boot cupboard that leads you into a light and airy inner hallway with a handy cloakroom and store cupboard.

To the right of the hallway is the fantastic kitchen/breakfast room, a spacious modern space which is well fitted with a substantial range of stylish high gloss putty coloured units, complimented by a crisp white granite countertop that also includes a fantastic island unit with breakfast bar. There is a recently electric kit conversion of the 'Aga' that is subject to separate negotiation, integrated dishwasher, micro-oven and wine fridge as well as space for an American style fridge/freezer and a separate larder unit.  

From the kitchen, a few shallow steps lead up to a separate dining room with a glazed oak staircase to the side. To the rear of the room anthracite grey patio doors flow out to a south facing terrace and garden beyond. Superb features of the room include a vaulted ceiling and an open gallery to the rear with a walkway which leads across to the guest bedroom. To the right of the hallway is an exceptionally versatile room which is currently utilised as a T.V room/snug but could also be utilised as a fifth bedroom or home office. There is a door to the side which provides internal access to the garage which has a good sized utility room to the rear and an electric up and over door to the front.

To the rear of the house is a stunning dual aspect sitting room with anthracite grey patio doors matching the dining room which also lead onto the same sun terrace. A beautiful recessed feature fireplace housing a contemporary gas log fire provides a homely focal point to the room and the rear window which looks out over the garden showers the room is exceptional southerly light.

Moving onto the first floor you will find two beautifully appointed bedrooms and a chic family bathroom and a further two more on a split level up a further short flight of stairs. The bedrooms include a fabulous master suite with a luxurious en-suite shower room. The second guest bedroom is also complemented by an en suite shower room and features fitted wardrobes. Two further bedrooms share use of a small but well fitted bathroom. It is worthy of particular mention that the front facing bedrooms, which includes the guest suite, benefit from stunning far reaching views out over the village to the picturesque rolling hillside and Blagdon Lake.

The property sits in a generous private plot with a mature and well stocked garden to the rear which is blessed with a glorious southerly aspect. To the boundary of the property there are a number of mature specimen trees which add a little much needed shade to the mainly sunny garden. Outside the rear of the house is a spacious and exceptionally stylish sun terrace, a wonderful spot for al-fresco dining and summer parties. A meandering stone footpath from here leads through the garden to a area of lawn perfect for children's play equipment or perhaps a home office pod. A small shed and hexagonal greenhouse can also be found in the garden.

As previously mentioned there is generous off street parking leading to a tandem garage to the side and the property has the added benefit of gas central heating, double glazing and no onward chain.
