About
A beautifully positioned detached four/five bedroom village home with adaptable living space, extensive gardens, and delightful countryside surroundings. EPC Band D.
Lakewood is a distinctive and highly versatile detached residence, situated in the sought-after village of Chaffcombe and enjoying a peaceful rural setting.
Tucked away along a quiet lane serving primarily residents, the property benefits from a heightened sense of privacy while remaining conveniently accessible.
The generous and flexible accommodation lends itself to a variety of living arrangements, with the current owners having thoughtfully extended the property to create additional ground floor bedrooms and bathroom facilities.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall and the hall leads through to a well-proportioned kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of units and enjoying pleasant views across the substantial rear garden.
The ground floor also offers a generous dining room, a separate study, a conservatory to the front aspect, and a convenient WC.
At the heart of the home is a spacious sitting room, centred around an attractive gas fireplace that creates a welcoming focal point.
The extended accommodation provides two additional ground floor double bedrooms, served by a particularly spacious bathroom, making this area ideal for multi-generational living or those seeking single-storey accommodation.
To the first floor are three further spacious double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted storage. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom fitted with a shower.
