Priddy, BA5

DESCRIPTION

A wonderful four bedroom family home situated within the heart of the ever popular village of Priddy, close to the village church and school, with stunning countryside views, beautiful gardens, garage and ample parking. The property was built in 1949 and has been within the same ownership for over 35 years, lovingly kept and updated with a new kitchen whilst also offering scope for someone new to place their mark.

Upon entering the house is a light and spacious entrance hall with ample space for shoes and coats. The sitting room benefits from a dual aspect overlooking both the gardens and also the open countryside beyond. The well-proportioned room has a picture rail, bay window to the front and a fire as the focal point. The dining room can be found to the front of the house, also with a bay window and currently used as a snug/craft room, with a 'Jet Master' open fire as the focal point. The kitchen/breakfast room features an abundance of natural light with a dual aspect and countryside views from the kitchen sink. The kitchen comprises a range of fitted units, an electric oven and hob, two larders, wall mounted LPG boiler and ample space for a breakfast table to seat four people. A door opens from the kitchen to a lobby, providing access to a w/c, fully shelved storeroom, door to the front of the house and through to the utility room. The utility room features further storage, plumbing for white goods and access out to the rear of the house and gardens.

To the first floor is a large landing with an airing cupboard and views over open fields. The principal bedroom has a dual aspect with gorgeous views and ample fitted storage. Two further double bedrooms, one to the front and one to the rear both benefit from lovely views. The fourth bedroom has views looking out over the gardens and would make a perfect single bedroom or home office if desired. The bathroom comprises a bath with shower above, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail.

OUTSIDE

Approaching the property is a five bar wooden gate opening to the driveway for four to five cars to the side of the house, leading to the former barn and now garage and a garden store. The garage is a large single but could also be used for a host of different purposes subject to the necessary consents. The gardens have been well-tended to over the years to create a peaceful and tranquil place to relax, entertain and enjoy the wonderful countryside views. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a wide variety of shrubs, bushes, flower beds and prolific vegetable patches. A patio to the side of the house is a wonderful space for outside dining and entertaining.
