The Property - The accommodation has been thoughtfully modernised whilst preserving the character and individuality of the original building. The ground floor provides three distinct reception areas, creating a flexible arrangement suitable for both everyday family living and entertaining. The dining room is particularly characterful, with exposed brickwork and substantial timbers, whilst the adjoining reception room features an attractive period fireplace.

Beyond is the impressive sitting room, a particularly generous space extending to approximately 25 feet in length. A broad exposed brick fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove forms a strong focal point, whilst windows and glazed openings allow good natural light. The room connects naturally with the kitchen, giving the principal living accommodation an appealing sense of flow without losing the definition of the individual rooms.

The kitchen has been comprehensively updated with contemporary cabinetry, timber-effect work surfaces, decorative tiled flooring and open shelving, creating a practical yet characterful space. Glazing to the rear provides views over and access towards the garden. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

The bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors. Three bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the first floor, with the bathroom featuring both a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower. Two further generous bedrooms occupy the upper floor, one of which is particularly striking with exposed roof timbers, vaulted ceiling detail and exposed brickwork. Throughout, the improvements have been carefully considered to retain the period qualities of the house whilst providing comfortable modern accommodation.

Outside - The property fronts directly onto Birch Road, with pedestrian access into the house.

To the rear is an enclosed garden arranged principally to lawn with mature shrubs and established boundary planting. Paved terraces immediately adjoining the property provide useful areas for outdoor seating and entertaining, whilst the combination of planting and established boundaries creates a pleasant degree of privacy.

Parking - Beyond the gardens is the associated parking for the property, with direct access immediately onto the gardens.

Further Land - Unusually, the purchaser would also benefit from a further parcel of land situated to the rear of the property and extending to approx 0.03ac. The parcel has been previously utilised for further parking and the keeping of chickens, with excellent scope for a variety of onward usages and, potentially, opportunity for development (STPP).

Services - We are advised that the property has the benefit of mains water, drainage, gas, and electric.

Tenure & Possession - The property is said to be of freehold tenure and vacant possession will be granted upon completion.
