DESCRIPTION

A well-presented and deceptively spacious detached home set in the popular village of Coxley, just 1 1/2 miles from the historic city of Wells.  The property is set back from the road and features five bedrooms (one ensuite) three reception rooms, integrated garage, further garage/store, off road parking and good sized rear garden with covered patio area.

A door opens into the glazed porch with tiled floor and door to the main entrance hall.  The entrance hall, with laminated floor has stairs to the first floor and two useful understairs cupboards with space for coats, shoes and 'day to day' storage.  The sitting room is a generous size and features a square bay window to the front - overlooking the garden, covered ceiling and a woodburning stove with slate hearth as the focal point.  Glazed double doors open into the dining room with engineered oak floor, coved ceiling, space for a dining table to seat six to eight people and French doors, with glazed panels on either side, opening to the garden.  A door opens into the kitchen breakfast room. A spacious room with tiled floor and large window looking out over the rear gardens.  The kitchen comprises a good range of cream Shaker style cabinets topped with solid wood worktops, full height larder cupboard, 1 1/2 bowl stainless steel sink along with space for a range cooker (available by negotiation) and space for both a fridge freezer and dishwasher.  There is space in the centre of the room for a large breakfast table - ideal for modern family life.  Adjacent is the utility room with tiled floor, further cabinets, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer and a door to the rear garden. In one corner is a separate cloakroom with WC and wash basin. From the utility room a door opens into the integral garage which benefits from light and power and houses the wall mounted 'Vaillant; gas fired boiler.  Leading off the hall is a versatile reception room.  This useful room, currently presented as a snug, could also be used as a study, gym, playroom or sixth bedroom, if required.

Stairs rise to the first floor with galleried landing and large airing cupboard with shelves, hanging space and housing the hot water cylinder.  The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a window to the rear - overlooking the garden. The ensuite comprises a large walk-in shower with waterfall and handheld sprays, hidden cistern WC, vanity basin, Illuminated mirror and obscured window to the rear. To the front is a generous double bedroom with built-in mirrored wardrobes and square bay window offering marvellous views over open countryside.  Two further bedrooms also benefit from the view over the neighbouring fields, one being a comfortable double and one being a single bedroom, currently presented as a study, with 3/4 height built-in mirrored wardrobe. The fifth bedroom, again a comfortable double, has a window overlooking the rear garden and built-in mirrored wardrobes with shelves and hanging rail. The family bathroom with tiled floor comprises a 'P' shaped bath with overhead shower, WC and wall mounted vanity basin.

OUTSIDE

The property is set back from the road and accessed via double gates which open onto the drive.  The driveway offers parking for two to three cars and leads to the integrated garage with 'up and over door'.  Adjacent to the garage is a 'lean to' garage/store, again with 'up and over' door and offering parking for two cars - in tandem, plenty of storage space and gated access to the rear garden.  The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders of mature shrubs, roses, flowering plants and high hedges.

The rear garden which can be accessed from the dining room, utility room and 'lean to' garage/store is a good size. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging and pleached conifer trees. A mature tree sits within the lawn and patio runs across the rear of the house, offering space for outside furniture and entertaining.  To one end is a covered patio with outdoor lighting and space for garden furniture - an ideal spot to enjoy the garden, whatever the weather. In the far corner of the garden is a further patio, ideally placed to enjoy the sunshine.
