Following a carefully planned and beautifully executed program of improvements, The Birches is now a home for the 21st century. Well-defined spaces are complimented by a contemporary yet gracious design theme. Particular attention has been paid to energy efficiency; triple glazed windows (with integral thermal blinds), solar panels, low carbon air source heating system and thermally insulated remote garage doors all contribute to the outstanding ‘A’ rated EPC.

The bespoke German kitchen has extensive storage, with Dekton countertops providing acres of working space. High end appliances include ovens with Wi-Fi controlled recipes, probe cooking and air fry functions. Have friends over for Sunday lunch and check the roast from the pub! The kitchen works equally well for family breakfasts or entertaining dinner guests with eating, cooking and sitting areas flowing seamlessly. The utility is fitted to the same exacting standard.

The separate sitting room is a haven of calm with an inset, remote-controlled gas fireplace creating the focal point.

A wide staircase rises to the principal suite with dressing area; two further bedrooms share a family bathroom on this floor. A second staircase leads down from the main hallway to the ground floor where the guest suite and study can be found. The integral double garage has a large, dry undercroft providing secure storage.

Every detail has been carefully considered, making the house effortless to live in. Subtle lighting and attention to acoustics all help to create delightful spaces. The extension, designed by a local architect, provides visual flair with its’ black zinc cladding and stunning solid oak, triple glazed sliding doors.

Externally there is ample parking on the in-and-out driveway. The double garage has a super-fast 22Kw ev charge point. And the west facing garden offers a high degree of privacy and can be enjoyed from the huge, Millboard deck – perfect for entertaining when the weather allows. The oak framed summer house has double glazed bi-fold doors, with power, heat & light. This is currently used as a gym but could equally be another spot to enjoy the easily maintained 0.5-acre garden. A large, insulated tractor shed has power and light, and completes the outdoor space.
