Property description
Detached four bedroom home located in Old Sodbury comprising of the following; kitchen, sitting room, dining room, play room, four bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, garage, parking and gardens.This stylishly individual four bedroom family home, which has an attached double garage and driveway parking for four to five cars, is set on a minor lane that forms a loop off the Badminton Road on the boundary of Old Sodbury and Chipping Sodbury. The current owners say: We initially looked at the property because of its proximity to our sons school with a view to staying only for a couple of years until A Levels were finished. However, we were so taken with the lovely vaulted interior and warm atmosphere that we have lived at Starlings for 18 years.In that time, we have replaced some doorways with arches to give the interior a more open plan feel, and added bathrooms so that all four bedrooms are now en-suite. Recently we have installed new windows at the back of the house, while the oak-floored kitchen was extended and replaced last year. The striking, vaulted entrance hall has a graceful turning staircase that leads up to a galleried landing, which gives access to two of the four bedrooms. These include the master bedroom, which has skylight windows and a large feature window with French shutters that overlooks the sitting room. There is a downstairs cloakroom and a further bedroom is located on the ground floor, while the fourth bedroom is reached by a second staircase from the vaulted sitting room. Double doors lead from the hall into the sitting room, which has a feature wood-burning stove with a tall stainless steel chimney, while the grey paint of the metal A-frame, the stairs, the windows and the recently added old-fashioned radiators all contrast with the oak ceiling beams and the warm colour of the quarry tiled floor. Separate archways lead into the dining room, the sitting area of the kitchen, and the playroom, which has an open fireplace. Two sets of bi-folding doors in the sitting room, further bi-folding and patio doors in the kitchen and a door off the utility room all open to the rear of the private enclosed garden, which is divided into segments with a variety of lawn and patio areas, a pond, flower beds and a greenhouse. Set on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, Starlings is conveniently located within a 15 minute walk of the centre of the market town of Chipping Sodbury, which has a wide variety of amenities including a Waitrose supermarket and schools for all ages. Bristol is about 17 miles and Bath is approximately 15 miles away. Fast rail services operate from Bristol Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and Chippenham, all of which are roughly equidistant. Junction 18 on the M4 is approximately four and a half miles away, while Junction 14 on the M5 takes about 20 minutes, making communications easy.
