The family bathroom has also undergone a full update and is complete with a bath and separate shower.

OUTSIDE

Birch House is approached off a quiet country lane firstly leading to the brick paved driveway which provides comfortable space for up to 6-8 cars. Beyond the parking is a detached double garage with an up and over door, power and light and a door to the rear.

The gardens are large and have been beautifully landscaped. There are areas of lawn that are decorated by a huge variety of plants, shrubs and mature deciduous trees with multiple beds to grow. There is a pergola, a greenhouse, a seating area and garden store. The garden offers a very good degree of privacy throughout.

VENDOR'S COMMENTS

The garden is 8 years old. No garden existed before our arrival here. I designed the beds and planting. The soil is now excellent with the annual addition of fertiliser, and leaf-mould compost gathered from the trees in autumn. A new watering system was added in spring 2023 and is controlled by two, small computers attached to outside taps. Much more efficient and timesaving than hose watering, and easy to operate.

The large greenhouse is 2 years old. The base on which it rests was specially built to meet the criteria of the guarantee from the Greenhouse Company.
