This week's property of the week from Roderick Thomas is a simply marvellous family home in the popular village of Easton, near Wells.

With great living space and five bedrooms, wonderful south facing views and a delightful landscaped garden, Hawstead is sure to be snapped up quickly.

You enter the home into a large hallway complete with useful cupboard space. To the right is  the magnificent 20ft sitting room, with stylish engineered oak flooring, log burner and French doors opening on to a patio area.

Next to the sitting room is a cosy study, which also enjoys the benefit of French doors, and beautiful views to help inspire while you work.

The kitchen/dining/living room is a great living area and is the heart of the house. 

The kitchen has a continuation of the limestone floor tiling from the reception hall and bespoke kitchen fittings with a range of high tech facilities. A central island has a Schott induction hob and a sleek retracting Caple extractor fan built into the oak work surface. Within the high gloss wall units are two Neff pyrotechnic ovens, one of which being a microwave combi, a Neff warming drawer, and an integrated fridge freezer. On the other side of the kitchen there are further base units under a granite worktop and a sink with secondary filtered & instant boiling water tap.

 In an open plan style, the kitchen leads directly into the dining & living area which has an engineered oak floor, a triple aspect and French doors leading out into the garden. The kitchen/dining/living room in its entirety is a brilliant space for entertaining.

A door from the kitchen opens into the useful utility where there is plumbing for a washing machine, a side door and space for a tumble dryer and second fridge freezer.

The entire ground floor has underfloor heating.

The first-floor landing has access into the attic and the airing cupboard. The master bedroom suite enjoys a double aspect with a fantastic large window, making the most of the gorgeous southerly views, and an en-suite with tiling, a shower, w/c and two wash hand basins. There are also three other double bedrooms all with built in wardrobe space on the first floor and a final 5th bedroom or 2nd study at the front of the house.

The outside space is lovely too, with large lawned areas, and a patio, and an outlook over the surrounding countryside.

There is a single garage and a large driveway.

Worthy of mention is the air ventilation system that recovers fresh air into the house and the solar water heating panels mounted on the roof.

Hawstead is on the market with Roderick Thomas for £685,000.
