Rickhay Rise, West Chinnock £530,000

Rickhay Rise is a quiet cul de sac and offers a pretty setting within a small friendly neighbourhood environment. Set in the corner, this property offers great kerb appeal with a large front garden setting it back from the road and is accessed over a double width and long tarmac driveway which in turn provides access to the 2 garage doors. There is also gated side access to both sides of the property. A concrete laid front walkway dressed with blue slate and potted plants then provides a rather pretty access path to the front entrance.

The outer door opens to a reception porch with seating and second inner door opening to the hallway. The hallway which is wide provides distribution to each room individually and comes with 2 large storage cupboards as well as loft access (the loft area is huge and is accessed with a ladder, partially boarded and has lighting).

Nice size of room which is square and links between the hallway entrance with double width doorway (doors removed) and large front window as well as a recently installed multi-fuel burner. To the rear another double width doorway opens to;

Dining area with space for a large table and side window offering natural light. This space then extends into the recently fitted kitchen with a wide range of wall and base units, built in white goods including eye-level ovens, Butler sink, dishwasher and breakfast bar with induction hob and a rather spectacular extractor which works as a centrepiece light fixture. Finally, a garden room has been added, the benefit of this is the fold out doors, meaning you have an almost seemless flow from the kitchen, dining area and sitting room into what will most likely be your favourite room. Double glazed window to one side, double glazed patio doors to another and then another set of folding doors opening to the rear terrace and external dining area. Due to the situation of this garden, this a great room to enjoy warmth and light as well as an elevated outlook to the countryside. Such is the peaceful nature of the external area the owner has recorded tawny owls, squirrels and the house has a resident hedgehog. Finally off the kitchen is a separate utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer, second fridge freezer and worktop space with cupboards as well as door to the exterior, an ideal place to dry off the pets when getting home from a nice walk in the surrounding countryside.

The rear garden is set out in a design which is practical and easy to maintain whilst offering complete privacy and some outstanding views. Stepping off the sunroom raised floor down one step onto a terrace area idea for al fresco dining which links along the rear of the kitchen and can be accessed from the utility area as well. Tree lined and elevated high above the Church grounds which form the rear boundary, all of which provides that outstanding, elevated outlook. To the Western corner is a seating area set in a loose shingle bed with French pavilion cover and set within a lawned area and mature shrubbery. The garden area to the rear feels just the right size for those who cherish outside space which can be easily maintained.

The hallway acts as a divider from the living area, one could say its like having an upstairs, without the need for stairs. The first room is the 3rd bedroom or as currently configured a spacious home office with a nice front outlook which has a nice sunny disposition throughout the day. Further on is the 2nd bedroom, a simple double room with space for wardrobes. Flipping to the other side of the hallway is the recently updated bathroom with a full size double ended bath, extra large separate shower cubicle with cascade duel shower, vanity cupboards built around the WC and sink unit with shaver sockets all freshly and fully tiled with the benefit of underfloor heating and towel rail.

Set at the end of the hallway and providing a nice quiet, private space this room offers dual aspect double glazed windows, space for wardrobes, dressing table and bedside cabinets. With it's own en suite featuring a good sized shower cubicle, vanity wash hand basin with storage and WC surround, shaver socket and chrome towel rail with natural light provided by an opaque rear window.

The driveway is a large space which offers double widths and great length, the current owners have a 27ft camper parked during the winter and still room to park their 2 daily use cars. Accessed from the driveway is the garage which is double width and two single width, up and over doors to the front. With a pitched roof affording extra storage, side window offering natural light and coming with electric and lighting. The recently installed modern Oil Boiler system is housed in here also. Given the location and side of the garage, there looks to be an opportunity to create a personal door into the hallway of the main house if one should desire.
