A beautifully presented detached five bedroom family house with annexe, dating back to the 19th Century
Southcot House is a beautifully presented, detached family home, situated on a no-through lane in the heart of Chapmanslade. Originally dating back to the late 19th century, the property has been meticulously refurbished by the current owners and provides excellent lateral family accommodation over two floors, filled with natural light, with delightful views of its garden and the surrounding countryside.
A large, bright and welcoming entrance hall, with velux skylights, greets you upon entering, with a storeroom and WC to the left hand side. The ground floor provides wonderful family space which flows seamlessly. Adjacent to the entrance hall and is the delightful drawing room with feature fireplace and French doors opening on to the garden. An open plan study sits next to the drawing room, also with garden access, and then flows through to the dining room with wood burning fireplace, and also encompasses another living area and stairs to the first floor. Accessed from here is the tv room/snug and the large family kitchen. Recently installed, the modern shaker-style kitchen has fitted base and wall units, integrated appliances and an electric aga. A large central island sits in the centre of the room as a focal point. The kitchen flows seamlessly in to a modern garden room extension with delightful views of the garden. The ground floor is completed by a utility room, downstairs WC and pantry.
The first floor provides excellent family bedroom accommodation with five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms (two en suite). The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with a large en suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and attractive vaulted ceilings. All the bedrooms have particularly pleasant views and are filled with light, with the bedrooms to the rear of the house enjoying views over the garden and countryside beyond.

A summer house with power and internet connection is positioned in the southern corner of the garden with views of neighbouring fields. A kitchen garden is perfectly located behind the outbuildings
