Description

Birchwood Lodge, a Scandia-Hus construction, presents a significant investment opportunity set in a semi-rural area adjoining open countryside and woodland. Occupying an expansive plot of approximately 0.8 acres, the property comes with granted planning permission for the complete demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a modern three-bedroom home along with a detached garage (refer to Horsham District planning reference DC/25/1325 for details). The location offers excellent access to Horsham town center with its array of amenities and mainline train services, alongside reputable local schools such as Christ's Hospital, which is less than three miles away. The surrounding area provides ample recreational options including Southwater Village’s Country Park and various local establishments. The current layout includes a spacious double-aspect living room that invites natural light while showcasing attractive views. Double doors lead into a garden/dining room designed for relaxation with picturesque perspectives of the gardens and adjacent woodland. The kitchen features an appealing mix of cabinetry and work surfaces, complemented by integral space for freestanding appliances. A utility room provides convenient access to the rear garden terrace. Accommodation comprises two bedrooms and a family bathroom equipped with modern fixtures such as a walk-in shower, Duravit WC, and stylish chrome fittings. Accessed via a long private driveway that runs alongside a public bridleway on the western edge, the property is surrounded by mature trees and boasts two decorative fish ponds along with timber decking amidst well-established shrubbery, making it not only serene but also ripe for enhancement or development.
