DESCRIPTION
34 Church Lane is a spacious family home, flooded with light, set in gardens and grounds of just under two thirds of an acre with lovely far reaching views to the Quantock Hills to one side and to Raleigh's Cross, Combe Sydenham and Nettlecombe to the other. The property has been lovingly cared for by the current owners with many improvements having been made to this 1970's built property. The accommodation has a lovely flow to it meaning it is ideally suited to modern family life with a large study on the ground floor to suit those wishing to work from home. There is also an impressive double garage and parking for a number of vehicles on the sweeping driveway with lawns to either side and a feature weeping birch tree to one side. Although the property is centrally situated in the village it is very private and not overlooked.
ACCOMMODATION
From the front you enter into a glazed entrance porch and from there into the generous hallway with doors to a downstairs cloakroom with wc, the dining room, sitting room, breakfast room and study with staircase rising to the first floor. There are ample hanging cupboards for coats and boots and a further storage cupboard under the stairs. The dining room is located to the front of the house with windows to the front and side and original ornate silk wallpaper. Double doors lead through to the lounge/garden room which is a lovely light room with glazing to two sides with direct access, via double sliding doors, and views over the garden to the rear. Further double doors lead through into the sitting room/snug which has windows overlooking the rear and a feature fireplace with inset gas fire. This room leads through to the family/breakfast room which again has direct access onto the rear terrace via double sliding doors and is connected to the kitchen in an 'L' shape. The kitchen, which overlooks the front garden, is well equipped with built in appliances, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and plenty of storage and features an impressive gas fired AGA with extractors above. Also to the ground floor is the study which has window overlooking the front.
From the kitchen there is a large utility room which has doors to the front and rear, houses the gas boiler and has a sink and space for washing machine and tumble dryer and has a separate cloakroom with wc. A further door leads through to the attached double garage which is large with fitted workshop/storage area and also has access to the rear garden.
The first floor centres upon the galleried landing with feature window with views towards the Quantock Hills beyond. The landing leads to a wc with washbasin, linen cupboard, three double bedrooms, all of which have wash basins, two of which have fitted cupboards and the family bathroom with bath and large walk-in shower. To the far end of the landing is the master suite which consists of a generous bedroom with large ensuite bathroom with bath and shower over. The views from the windows throughout the first floor are even better than from the ground floor.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached through gates onto a sweeping driveway bordered by lawns with herbaceous borders backed by stone walls to the front and left, feature apple trees on a raised bank with wall behind and fig tree to the right and the feature weeping birch tree in the centre. The gardens wrap around the house to the left with hedges on the boundaries and mixed herbaceous and shrub borders with secret garden area to the bottom. To the rear of the house there are two terraces ideal for al fresco dining and paths that lead around the house and on past the rear of the garage to a very productive kitchen garden with greenhouse, two large wooden storage sheds and various vegetable, fruit and cut flower beds. Beyond this there is an orchard with an abundance of fruit trees, apple, pear, damson, quince and walnut.
