Accommodation

Lakeview is a unique, low-density development of high-quality homes, constructed using Blue Lias stone from the former quarry on which these properties are built. The award-winning local developers Galion are known for building characterful new homes which enjoy the best of unique design and modern convenience. This property for example benefits from timber framed double-glazed windows, a highly efficient 87B energy rating and super fast broadband of up to 900 mb/s download speeds. This is an ideal home for a family, or indeed a retired couple given its proximity to all of the village's amenities and the safe local community. The property was completed in 2019 and therefore is still eligible for the remainder of its NHBC warranty until 2029. The properties enjoy many period features without the maintenance or shortfalls of a period property giving you the best of both worlds.

The front door is approached by a stone path, flanked by a pretty lavender bed, leading from the parking area. The door opens into a large, light and airy reception hall with the staircase directly ahead, a useful storage cupboard for coats and boots to the left, and a cloakroom in on the right-hand side. There are also two reception rooms on the left-hand side of the hall; the study and the sitting room. The study is currently used as a gym, and as a result, the owners have fitted a hard-wearing laminate floor. The room has a dual aspect and could be fit for a variety of uses. Double oak doors lead into the sitting room which is an impressive living space with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden, and a lovely fireplace in the heart of the room with an inset log-burning stove.

The kitchen is located at the far end of the house and is arranged in an open-plan L-shape connecting to the adjoining dining room.The kitchen itself features top specification Neptune kitchen with Quartz units and Neff appliances including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, double oven and grill, and hob. The adjoining dining room enjoys lovely views out to the garden, and so too does the breakfast area of the kitchen. A boot room also adjoins the kitchen which provides the perfect spot to take off mucky boots and coats after a dog walk or a busy afternoon in the garden. There is a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The staircase rises to the spacious first-floor landing and has ample storage underneath. On the landing, there is an extremely useful airing cupboard with three access doors for maximum utility.

The master bedroom features a superb main bedroom area with an adjoining en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. The en-suite is fitted to an extremely high standard with a walk-in shower, stylish floor and wall tiles, basin, w/c, and underfloor heating. The guest bedroom also features an equally good quality en-suite. The further three bedrooms can all fit a double bed, and use the family bathroom. All three bathrooms have Neptune vanity units and basins.

Outside

The current owners have done a simply exceptional job at redesigning, re-landscaping and nurturing the garden to the well-established haven we see today. There is a vast array of shrubs and flowering plants set within thoughtfully designed deep borders which intersperse the lawn. The garden expands to approximately 1/3 of an acre and set within there are productive vegetable patches, a greenhouse, a pond, and a newly constructed oak-framed gazebo which provides the perfect spot to enjoy an evening meal or drink. The gardens are secured by a mixture of good quality timber fencing, parkland cast iron railings and stone walls.

At the front, there is an extremely spacious gravel parking area leading up to the double garage which has a slate tiled roof, and one open bay and another kept open for the convenience of driving directly in. There is exterior lighting outside the property.
