The property is an excellent modern country home with the most amazing gardens, which directly border the fields beyond.
The interior is extremely well-appointed having been meticulously maintained by the current owners, with space on offer much larger than the average three-bedroom home and of an equivalent size to many properties that offer four bedrooms.
This turn-key home will no doubt appeal to prospective buyers looking for a tranquil rural location which is not far removed from local towns and amenities.
A wonderful bonus of this property is the fact that it has all mains services including gas, which is rare in village locations.
Furthermore, there are solar panels in situ on the south-facing roof, which the vendors inform us were installed in 2011 and currently generate an annual income of around £1,700 in addition to keeping the energy costs for the property at a low level. The solar panels come complete with a battery and mobile phone app.
17 Summerfield Lane is set back from the lane behind a tarmacadam driveway allowing ample parking for around four cars and leading to the single garage. The garage is accessed via an up-and-over door and benefits from power and lighting.
From the driveway, a double-glazed porch with sliding doors accesses the property, with the main entrance hall beyond.
Entrance
The entrance hallway features solid wood flooring and doors to the downstairs cloakroom/WC and living room.
Living room
Situated to the front of the property is the main living room. This lovely room has pleasant views to the front overlooking a paddock. There is solid wood flooring and wall lights.
Dining room
Glazed double doors from the living room access the dining room, which is nicely open plan to the adjoining kitchen and conservatory.
This pleasant room features a designer vertical radiator and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard.
Kitchen
The kitchen is well presented to a quality finish and is semi-open plan to the conservatory providing an ideal space for cooking and entertaining at the same time.
The kitchen features a range of bespoke wooden wall and base units, with under-cupboard lighting, a built-in double oven, an induction hob with an extractor above, an integrated slimline dishwasher, a useful breakfast bar, down lighters and tiled flooring.
Conservatory
To the rear of the property is a spacious conservatory with a glass roof. This is an excellent addition to the ground floor accommodation, flowing seamlessly from the dining room and kitchen making it a perfect space for entertaining.
The conservatory features tiled flooring, French doors to the garden and a useful cupboard space housing the Worcester boiler. There are lovely views from here over the rear garden and fields beyond.
First floor
There is a particularly spacious landing, which is large enough to accommodate a library or study area. Some of this extra space could also be utilised to create additional first-floor rooms through reconfiguration if required.
The landing has an airing cupboard and a loft hatch with a drop-down ladder accessing the roof space, which is boarded and features lighting and multiple double plug sockets.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom is a spacious double room, with excellent views across the gardens and fields beyond.
This room benefits from two sets of mirror-fronted wardrobes and offers scope to easily create an ensuite shower room if desired by putting up a stud wall in one corner.
Bedroom two
Bedroom two is another spacious double room enjoying splendid views over the rear garden. This room also features a fitted mirror-fronted wardrobe.
Bedroom three
The third bedroom is large enough to accommodate a double bed and enjoys a pleasant aspect to the front over a field opposite.
Family bathroom
Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom, which is both generous in size and nicely styled to a contemporary standard.
The bathroom comprises a tiled corner shower cubicle, a washbasin, a black towel radiator, a vanity unit, down lighters and a frosted window to the rear aspect.
Garden
A fantastic feature of this property are the extensive south-facing gardens, which have been beautifully designed and planted by the current owners creating several distinctive sections all offering a different aspect to the garden.
The gardens directly border fields at the bottom affording this quality outside space with a tranquil rural aspect and easy access to neighbouring rights of way. The first section of the garden includes a gravelled seating area, with a sunken pond giving way to a long lawn bordered by well-stocked beds packed with a variety of perennials.
A winding gravelled pathway intersects the lawn and leads to the mid-section, which is harder landscaped, with gravelled beds incorporating a heather garden, a diverse range of specimen grasses and a sunken wildlife pond.
A cobbled pathway from here leads to the bottom section featuring a paved seating area ideal for entertaining, complete with a barbeque and a large double-glazed wooden summerhouse with a power supply and Wi-Fi connection. Nicely tucked away beyond here is an area with raised beds, a greenhouse, a garden shed and a composting area.
