The Dwelling

Birch House is a perfect combination of character, efficiency, flexibility and position. Although the property was built in just 1999, the property has all the character of a period property – the front brickwork is a particular highlight – with all the advantages and cost savings of a contemporary house all rolled into one. Add to that some flexible accommodation spread over three floors that allows each part to be used in a different way and a position that is a short step into the town or out into the country and Birch House really is a mouthwatering prospect.

Accommodation

The accommodation is simply laid out around a central hallway with a cloakroom off with a sitting room to one side and a kitchen/dining room to the other. The sitting room centres around an attractive stone fireplace equipped with a gas woodburner style stove with double doors into a substantial conservatory that looks out over the gardens behind. The kitchen dining room has a dining area to one end and a lovely contemporary kitchen to the other with an island unit to its centre, The kitchen is equipped with a Mercury range cooker, integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. The worktops are granite and there is an attractive yet practical double butler sink . Off the kitchen a door leads through to a useful utility room with space for another fridge freezer and plumbing for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

The five bedrooms are arranged over the two floors above with the principal room mirroring the sitting room below with an ensuite shower room and space for two substantial wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor and two on the floor above all sharing a family bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath.

The property is in immaculate decorative order throughout, has gas fired central heating, contemporary double glazing, an intruder alarm system and a water softener.

Outside

To the rear of the property there is a beautifully laid out landscaped garden organised to be free of maintenance with two terraced sitting areas and architectural planting - the herbs have done particularly well this year. The gardens face north however as they are raised the gardens are sunny throughout the day and are particularly good for sundowners at the end of the day. To the end of the garden a doorway leads through two spacious larger than average sized double garage equipped with up and over doors, one of which is electric with substantial storage area in the roof void. Off-road parking is provided within the garage however an an agreement with the neighbour allows a car to be parked outside the garage itself and there is plenty of on street parking immediately to the front of the property.
