‘Birchwood’ is a sizable house set within a quiet conservation area in a popular and private location. The property comprises the major part of a detached late Victorian house, dating from about 1890, with well appointed accommodation arranged over three floors. Sympathetically restored and maintained by the current vendors, period and character features are evident throughout including an elegant entrance hall with original marble floor and an impressive staircase. There are original stained glass windows and coving , along with ornate fireplaces and high ceilings typical of the era. Contemporary additions include a new kitchen at the rear of the property with a range of integrated appliances blending functionally with a timeless period style. With this in mind, there is planning permission (granted in perpetuity) to substantially increase and remodel the ground floor to suit the modern day lifestyle (ref: DM/19/0360). An extensive light drawing room, with French doors to the garden, and dining room make up much of the reception area on the ground floor together with the Library, also with French doors to the garden. Stairs lead to the first floor with three bedrooms and a bathroom. Of particular note is the large principal bedroom with focal fireplace and a southerly aspect. A further two bedrooms and a sizable bathroom with separate shower are located on the second floor. Sheltered, private and accessed via timber gates, the landscaped gardens are planted with specimen trees and established shrub and plant beds. The central wisteria, roses and vine covered pergola provides the backdrop with space to entertain or relax along with the summer house. The sweeping driveway has ample parking for several cars and access to two garages. The larger of the two garages has been recently constructed with the benefit of a useful first floor storage space.
