Description

Springhead was meticulously renovated and extended in 2020. The extension was built with Chilmark stone and blends beautifully into the original house, while the roof was completely rebuilt using handmade reclaimed clay tiles. All the windows are hand built, hard wood and double glazed. The extension at the rear of the house is clad with English Oak, with solid wood bifold windows in the kitchen and stone paved terrace. Both off street parking areas are paved in Limestone. The house is operated by the SMART home operating system, Nest and has automated smoke detection, CCTV and thermostat.


The front porch leads into the entrance hall with an exposed beamed ceiling, a staircase with plenty of storage built in underneath. The hall leads to a large kitchen diner with solid wood bifold windows leading to the terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen is hand built with dovetailed, solid oak drawers and shelves. The work tops are quartz with a Neff induction hob and extractor. There is a Neff ‘hide and slide’ oven and microwave and a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer with water cooler and ice maker.
