Chosen Hill, also known as Churchdown Hill, provides woodland walks and open spaces around its historic hilltop church, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
The entrance hall has carpeted flooring and a straight staircase with pine handrails and a fitted stairlift. A panelled pine door opens to an understairs storage cupboard housing the gas meter. A part-glazed pine door leads to the ground-floor wet room, while double swing doors open into the sitting room.

Sitting Room
Positioned to the front of the property, the sitting room enjoys good natural light from a broad casement window, with a wide opening connecting it to the rear kitchen/dining room. The room has carpeted flooring, ceiling coving and a feature fireplace with a timber surround, marble hearth and gas fire, which has not been tested.

Wet Room
The refurbished ground-floor wet room includes a walk-in shower with a fold-down seat, grab rails and large controls, together with a close-coupled WC and a generous ceramic washbasin with a chrome lever tap. Full-height marble-effect wall tiling with decorative border detailing complements the terrazzo-effect vinyl flooring. An obscured-glass side window provides natural light, with a panel radiator, extractor fan and shaver point completing the fittings.

Kitchen/Dining Room
Extending across the full width of the property, this bright, dual-aspect room has windows to the side and rear overlooking the garden. The kitchen is fitted with oak-effect base and wall units, roll-top work surfaces and limestone-effect tiled splashbacks. Fittings include a four-burner gas hob with extractor hood above, an electric oven and a stainless-steel sink and drainer with mixer tap, together with space for a washing machine.

The adjoining dining area provides room for a small table and chairs, with matching counter shelving and a pine dresser-style display unit. Terracotta-effect floor tiles run throughout, while a part-glazed door opens directly onto the rear garden, with its beds and raised planters for growing herbs and vegetables.

First-Floor Landing
A side window provides natural light to the carpeted landing, where four-panel pine doors open to the three bedrooms. A ceiling hatch gives access to the roof space.

Bedroom One
A well-proportioned double bedroom with a large casement window overlooking Hazelcroft. A bank of full-height, pine-fronted cupboards provides generous storage, supplemented by a further built-in cupboard. The room has carpeted flooring and light blue walls.

A further double bedroom at the rear of the property, with casement window providing good natural light and pleasant views towards Chosen Hill. The room has carpeted flooring and painted walls. A former airing cupboard retains slatted pine shelving and houses the modern combination boiler.
