Birchwood

Occupying a secluded position within the former grounds of a neighbouring listed building, Birchwood, is an individual detached house which was completed in 2021 to an exceptionally high standard.

Architecturally designed to complement the immediate rural area, the new build has a traditional barn style exterior, with mostly black pine weatherboard elevations with a peg tiled roof.

Via a recessed porch, a wide and welcoming central hall with solid oak flooring extends to the core of the house. Notable features include an impressive oak stairs with a distinctive curved wall which is pronounced in the triple aspect dining room with further solid oak flooring.

Catering for modern living, much of the ground floor consists of the impressive, open plan kitchen / breakfast / sitting room which offers a practical and pleasing layout. The stylishly fitted kitchen is fitted on two walls, with numerous solid oak cupboards, marble worksurfaces with twin inset butlers sink. Numerous integral appliances include electric range cooker and separate oven. The extensive oak flooring extends to the dining area and sitting room, both of which provide twin French windows leading onto the main garden. A further notable feature is the brick ‘half-barrel fireplace, with inset wood burner.

On the first floor, three double bedrooms are set around a central landing. Offering an ensuite shower room and separate dressing room, the main rear bedroom (as does bedroom 3) enjoys views over the main garden and countryside beyond. Bedroom two is to the front, which gives a further attractive vista over fields to the west.

Outside, the property is set well back from the minor country lane, with a front independent driveway leading to a single garage with rear store.
