Description

Bircholme is a striking detached property with a traditional stone façade, set amidst picturesque gardens and expansive grounds covering nearly 0.9 acres. Having undergone comprehensive renovations under the current ownership of over a decade, the residence boasts an architect-designed extension that incorporates a stunning glazed atrium, enhancing the interior with abundant natural light. Notably, planning permission is in place to transform the substantial triple car garage – currently serving as a gymnasium – into a leisure wing complete with additional living space. This generously proportioned home, almost twice the size of its original structure, showcases numerous historic elements such as lofty ceilings and elegant fireplaces throughout. The ground floor features an impressive reception hall with intricate paneling and a grand staircase, alongside multiple living spaces including a drawing room with garden views and a cozy family reception area with bespoke shelving. The open plan library flows into a bright garden room that connects seamlessly with the outdoors. The meticulously designed family kitchen serves as the heart of this home, equipped with quality fixtures and an inviting central island. The arrangement includes ample storage solutions and accessibility to outdoor spaces through expansive windows. On the first floor, you'll find a principal bedroom suite that offers privacy along with luxury amenities including a balcony and dressing room. Two additional bedroom suites are equipped with built-in wardrobes to maximize comfort. A well-appointed family bathroom complements this level. The second floor comprises further living quarters featuring three double bedrooms, one of which includes an en suite shower room, plus another family bathroom featuring modern conveniences. Accessed via automated gates leading to extensive parking facilities, Bircholme also boasts beautifully landscaped gardens complete with terraces for outdoor dining options and mature trees ensuring privacy. With existing planning for significant enhancements including a swimming pool and gym area as well as ancillary accommodation, this property presents remarkable potential for further investment and development.
