The property provides a spacious home ideal for family life that can adapt and be flexible to suit particular family needs. The large kitchen/living/dining with access to the patio & garden, provides the hub of the home and is finished with a range of modern fitted floor and wall units and breakfast bar area with utility room off. The property is finished to a high quality standard throughout with solid timber doors and internal finishing which include a stunning bespoke feature staircase together with the kitchen, utility and all bathrooms/shower rooms finished to a high standard and immaculately presented. Birchgrove benefits from double glazing throughout, and oil central heating with the boiler fitted within the last two years. This is enhanced by a wood burning stove in each of the living areas. All renovations carried out to modern build specifications. The annexe is currently advertised through ‘air bnb’ and provides additional income through short/longer term stays, and can serve independently from the main residence with separate access, patio and parking area to the side. The spacious yet attractive garden complements the property perfectly. Birchgrove is a property immaculately presented and tastefully modernised in recent years which together with its location and peaceful surroundings creates a property of great appeal.
