Description
5 Bottom lane is a modern but charming family home, tastefully built to include a mix of brick and stone it fits perfectly into the look and feel of the popular village of Stoke Albany. The house has many interesting features to include large bay window seats, exposed interior brick wall and a garden to 3 sides. It also has a larger than normal utility room and downstairs office/playroom that lends itself to being converted to a downstairs bedroom with bathroom and still leaving plenty of room for the utility.

Accommodation
A brick-built porch with decked floor leads on to a spacious hallway with a wall of exposed brick and part glazed wall which allows light to flood into the house.
The hallway leads on to the live-in kitchen with its tiled floor,
two-tone wooden wall and base units, mixture of solid oak and granite work tops, Range Master cooker, built in microwave and dishwasher and double Belfast sink. The kitchen is a good size and allows ample room for a dining table and further seating area. There is also a delightful bay window seat. The kitchen has a set of patio doors that lead out to the right-hand side of the garden and also a further set of doors leading into an ornate conservatory with doors to the central part of the garden.
The kitchen leads through to a rear boot room with a further door to the garden.
There is also a large utility room with a selection of cupboards, sink and space for washing machine and tumble dryer. This room is larger than average and as such lends itself to be converted to a downstairs bathroom while still leaving plenty of room for a good-sized utility.
Leading off the utility room is a home office/playroom with access through into the double garage and patio doors out onto the front courtyard. This could well be used as a further ground floor double bedroom if required. Combined with converting the utility this could provide for a separate 1-bedroom annexe.
Off the entrance hall is a good-sized sitting room with log burner, bay window seat and patio doors out onto the front courtyard.
There is also a downstairs WC.
Upstairs there is a master bedroom with bathroom en suite, two double bedrooms, one with a fitted wardrobe and dressing table and a further single bedroom. All of the first-floor rooms are bright and airy with good sized windows.

The garden forms a particular feature for the property and is well landscaped to include a mix of lawn and well-established shrubs, herbaceous perennials, flowers and trees such as sweet chestnut, silver birch and laurels.
