Attractive New England style modern detached home in the Centre of the village, backing on to fields.

Description
Built in 2017, number 8 Lavender Fields is a very attractive modern detached house, characterised in the New England style, with its Cape Cod weather boarded double fronted façade, and black-framed sash windows under a slate tiled roof. Internally, the accommodation is light and bright, very well presented throughout and arranged over three floors, extending to a spacious 2,280 square feet.

The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall, off which all the ground floor accommodation is arranged, with turned staircase rising to the first floor. There are two reception rooms: An elegant sitting room with French doors opening to the garden and a brick fireplace set with a wood burning stove, and a formal dining room.

The kitchen and breakfast room is very well appointed, fitted with a good range of modern shaker-style units with composite worktops and various integrated appliances, with a glazed door opening to the garden and plenty of space for a table and chairs. The kitchen is served by a good sized utility room with space for the usual laundry appliances; a cloakroom with WC completes the ground floor.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, lying off a galleried landing. The spacious principal bedroom overlooks the garden and countryside beyond, and benefits from built-in cupboards and an en suite shower room with modern white suite; the other bedrooms on this floor share a large family bathroom. There are two further rooms on the second floor: A study (currently used as a store room) and a fifth bedroom with en suite shower room, which makes an ideal guest suite.

8 Lavender Fields is accessed from the close via a gated, block paved driveway, which offers plenty of parking space ahead of the house and the detached double garage. The front garden is laid to lawn, enclosed by beech hedging with colourful flower beds to the front of the house.

The house’s west-facing rear garden is of particular note, beautifully tended and well-enclosed by mature trees. The garden is mainly laid to level lawn, edged by well-stocked shaped borders and dotted with young trees. A large part-paved, part gravel terrace adjoins the rear of the house, offering an ideal spot for entertaining and dining al fresco; there is a further seating area across the garden, in the shade of a wisteria-clad timber arbour.

In all, about 0.2 of an acre.
