About this property
The Birches is a substantial and beautifully presented detached residence offering more than 2,400 sq ft of versatile accommodation, arranged over two generous floors.
The ground floor opens from a porch into a welcoming entrance hall featuring warm wood flooring. The spacious dual-aspect sitting room is a particular highlight, providing an elegant and light-filled space for relaxation, with French doors opening directly onto the rear terrace. For more formal entertaining, the dining room is accessed via an attractive arched opening, while a separate study offers an ideal environment for home working. Further accommodation is centred around a contemporary open-plan kitchen and breakfast room. This sleek, high-specification space is fitted with dark high-gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances and glazed doors opening onto the rear terrace, creating an excellent space for both day-to-day living and entertaining. A practical utility room, with direct access to the integral double garage, together with a shower room, completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom forms a generous suite featuring built-in storage and a spacious en suite bathroom. The remaining four bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
To the front, a large gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the double garage. The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for entertaining, featuring an expansive decked terrace with a glass-roofed pergola and built-in fire pit seating area. Beyond lies an outdoor swimming pool complemented by a bespoke pool bar and covered seating area. The remainder of the garden is laid predominantly to level lawn, bordered by mature trees and established hedging, offering a high degree of privacy together with attractive outlooks across the neighbouring countryside.
