DESCRIPTION A superbly appointed detached period home occupying a sizeable and prestigious plot in the centre of the desirable Mendip village of Churchill.

Constructed from local stone in the mid 1800's, Springfield is a distinctive and characterful five-bedroom detached home, that it set in private and beautifully landscaped mature gardens of approximately three quarters of an acre. Meticulously renovated and improved in recent years it is truly a wonderful family home with a huge emphasis on lifestyle and family.

Arranged over two generous floors, the property offers a wonderfully versatile footprint of over 2500 sq ft of accommodation, which is the perfect blend of original period character, complimented by chic modern day refinements.

Entering the property into the stylish entrance vestibule, its original tessellated tiled floor and beautiful décor sets the tone for the superb finish that can be found throughout the house. There are three principal reception rooms which can be found off the impressive 29' inner hallway, they include bay fronted living and drawing rooms both of which feature minster stone fireplaces and ornate detailing, and a formal dining room with an impressive marble fireplace which could also be utilised as a spacious home office. The kitchen/family room is a glorious modern additional to the property, with its outstanding floor to ceiling glass walls with sliding patio doors that quite literally bring the garden into the room. The kitchen area is fitted with a stunning hand built bespoke kitchen, finished in a beautiful dark grey paint palate from Little Greene with a contrasting white quartz countertop. There is also a wonderful central island unit with an inset double sink and polished tiled flooring that add extra opulence to the room and is blessed with under floor heating. From the kitchen dining room there is access to a scullery with a cloakroom that leads to a handy boot room.

Upstairs there is a large galleried landing that leads to the five double bedrooms, all of which enjoy excellent outlooks of the village and surrounding countryside.

The master bedroom features a well-appointed en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom is finished with a classic white suite including a stunning clawfoot bath and a luxurious shower and contemporary fittings.

The property has been well maintained and extensively modernised in recent years, it benefits from gas central heating and mains drainage, and has been refurbished to a high standard throughout.

Outside, the front tarmac drive continues onto a further pea gravelled driveway that leads to a picturesque two-storey stone barn at the end of the garden. The barn offers huge potential for conversion to an annexe or Air B&B (subject to the necessary consents) or simply be utilised as a double garage/workshop, or a home office/gym. In fact, our current vendor has created a first floor office space within the barn

As previously mentioned, the generous private garden is as equally impressive as the house itself, with as much careful consideration and design acumen being afforded to creating what is now a magnificent multi purposed space blending fabulous outdoor entertaining areas with attractive stone patios, to neat formal lawns with flower packed borders and neat box hedging.

In addition, discretely tucked away behind a mature tree line is a hidden paddock, perfect for those looking for the good life and to keep a few chickens, a goat or even your own pigs! This superb addition to the property currently has a half pipe skate ramp, created by our current owners for their children's enjoyment and recreation.

The property is also blessed with substantial off-street parking and walled entrance way with electric gates to the front.

The position is highly convenient, indeed Churchill Academy and Sixth Form is a few minutes' walk away and the primary school is close by. There are private schools also within easy reach and some local amenities, shops and pubs (including the ever popular Crown at Churchill) within a convenient walk. Churchill is fantastic for access to Bristol, Bath, Wells, the M5 motorway and the Airport and for lovers of walking you are surrounded by some of the most beautiful and varied countryside anyone could hope to find. 

OUR VENDOR SAYS Springfield has been a fantastic family home, with so much space yet still feeling warm and homely. We love enjoying a coffee in the kitchen looking out over the beautiful walled private gardens, while still being nestled in the village just a couple of doors down from the village shop and post office. 

WE HAVE NOTICED This truly is a dream family home full of original character and charm with generous proportioned rooms and a stylish design led interior, there is an ambience and distinction that can be very difficult to find, with a large private plot, stunning gardens and plenty of future potential.
