DESCRIPTION
Built in the style of a period property yet providing the latest technology (including entire house networked for ethernet) and environmental advantages. The well-proportioned accommodation includes a stunning 31ft kitchen/dining and entertaining space with recently installed triple French doors to the south facing patio and private gardens providing a great indoor/outdoor entertaining space.
There is a large quarry tiled utility/boot room, with ample worktop space, space for a large American style double fridge/freezer, and shower room.
Main reception room with new wood burner and two further rooms currently used as home/office and a further study/library.
To the first floor are five good bedrooms, two of which are en-suite and a further family bathroom. Many of the bathrooms have been recently upgraded with new baths and large walk-in showers.
There is also a large walk-in loft space providing ample additional storage.
The whole house is wired for ethernet and has been redecorated to a high standard throughout.
To the outside, the property is approached by a long-gravelled sweeping driveway, entered through electric gates. The front of the house benefits from a newly built solid oak triple car port with electric charging point. Additionally, there is a double garage, which has been renovated into a workshop, with ceiling and fully insulated loft space with loft ladder, an insulated rubber floor. There is also, ample parking for numerous vehicles.
The private south facing side garden features a summer house, which is currently used as a gym with glass sauna cabin. The building has been renovated with double glazing and new double doors.
The main feature of Birchwood House is the private enclosed 3/4 acre plot, which the current owner has spent many years developing with an extensive planting programme, with feature areas of the garden for every time of the day, from a camelia corner to a scented rose courtyard, and planted corridors of trees and specimen Acers and Maple trees which all create a year round blend of colours. There is a dedicated vegetable area with 2 large, raised timber sleeper beds, and a large Elite greenhouse. There is also a further workshop/store which again is fully insulated and double glazed. Every aspect of the garden has been designed for multiple uses.
