DESCRIPTION The Birches is a wonderful family house built in an exclusive private cul de sac in this highly regarded and sought after hamlet. The present owners have cherished and looked after the house quite beautifully. In recent years they have extended and refitted the kitchen with the fabulous addition of a contemporary rear addition with vaulted ceiling and the use of much glass so they can fully take in the southerly aspect gardens and views beyond. The house offers very well balanced accommodation with five double bedrooms, three of which enjoy en suites, four reception rooms and of course a spectacular kitchen/breakfast room.
The gardens and setting are quite beautiful. The owners have brought additional land and the house now sits in around one third of an acre. There is ample parking and a large double garage.
STEP INSIDE As soon as you step into the hallway there is a warm welcoming feeling. The hall is L shaped, spacious and doors open to the principle rooms. The Oak flooring really enhances the feel. Stairs lead to the first floor with a useful understairs cupboard beneath. There is a downstairs cloakroom/WC. Double doors open from the hallway into the double aspect lounge. Immediately one is drawn to the large impressive red brick fireplace with wood burning stove that is the focal point of the room. Oak flooring continues through the lounge and there is a window to the front aspect and French doors opening into the rear garden. At the front of the house is family room/snug, ideal for teenagers or as an adult bolt hole. Oak flooring and hand built shelving and cupboards. A very large study/office is found at the rear of the house. Cleverly extended by the present owners with vaulted ceiling, Velux roof lights, Oak flooring, bespoke shelving and cupboards, double doors into the lounge and French doors opening into the garden. A perfect office or additional living room. Undoubtedly the main feature of the house is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room that opens into the family room. Beautifully fitted in the last couple of years to the owners exacting design and specification. Fitted with an extensive range of bespoke units with granite worktops including a large island unit. A range of appliances including Siemens oven, hob, AGA range with cooker canopy over, under unit light, back lit display cabinets and tiled flooring. Large walk in pantry. Window to the front aspect. The kitchen opens into a stunning contemporary extension with vaulted ceiling and roof lights together with bi folding doors across the rear of the house that open onto the patio and garden. This really is a wonderful addition to the house and a great place for family and friends to enjoy. Off the family room is a really useful utility/boot room. Well fitted with cupboards, sink and worktops. Tiled floor. Window overlooking the garden and door to the patio.
Moving upstairs is a spacious landing, off which are the five double bedrooms, three of which enjoy en suites. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes, a large en suite with bath and separate shower cubicle. There is also a family bathroom.
STEP OUTSIDE Approached off the cul de sac with a gravel driveway that provides ample parking for many vehicles and leads to the detached double garage. The front garden is laid to lawn with a silver birch trees and shrubs.
The rear garden has been cleverly designed and landscaped to take advantage of the southerly aspect, privacy and views over paddocks and countryside. Across the back of the house is a large paved patio that continues over to the swimming pool terrace. A wonderful place for the family to enjoy with heated pool. In addition is an extensive decked area designed for entertaining where one finds a great pavilion with open sides that is the perfect area for barbequing. Lawns extend to the foot of the garden and there are raised beds with many varieties of fruit trees and bushes. The garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the summer and to entertain in or while away the day pottering about.
LOCATION Bury Green is a small pretty hamlet in a semi rural position yet only a few minutes drive from Bishops Stortford and the A120. There are a few houses set around a pretty village green off which Farm Place is a small private cul de sac. "The beauty of living here is the feel of being rural yet one never feels isolated" say the vendors. "Its such a convenient and beautiful place to live. One minute you can be in your garden or across the fields with the dogs, the next, your in town or boarding a train into London"
Neighbouring market towns include Bishops Stortford and Ware both of which offer stations with services into London, a wide selection of shops and supermarkets, numerous restaurants, cafes and bars and excellent education both private and state.
The M11 and A10 are both easily reached as is Stanstead Airport.
