House For Sale £450,000
Birchwood is a truly unique architect designed house with an intriguing tree house style conservatory. Built using sustainable materials, with Japanese influences, open plan living and delightful sloping landscaped gardens, it really needs to be viewed to be appreciated.
Think tree house meets us mid west log cabin with a touch of Japanese influence and you have Birchwood! This really is a very unique property carefully designed to take full advantage of its hillside position. The design of the house was based on a Japanese Haiku house with round timber posts supporting the upper floor and roof. Built entirely from sustainable materials, the upper floor is clad in timber and the lower floor in stone
Set down from the road, this property is nestled in a lovely hillside position that is totally private yet very accessible. As you approach the glazed front porch, you can immediately see and feel that this property is very different. However, it's not until you step inside that you can appreciate why.
Entering through the glazed porch, turn left into an inner porch, off which is a useful WC, and through into the very spacious open plan living area. This open plan layout with its vaulted ceilings, glazed conservatory and velux windows feels, and is, exceptionally light and airy yet, at the same time, warm and cosy. There is a free standing log burning stove, ideal to keep you toasty in the cooler months. However, it's the conservatory that absolutely draws you in. This is one truly amazing space! The original open balcony has been glazed over to create a wonderful tree house style conservatory that makes you feel you are in the tree canopy as you look out at the beautiful silver birches just outside. This is the perfect place to observe nature and in all seasons.
If you decide you want a breath of fresh air, then you can step outside to another small open balcony. This is also the ideal spot to catch the evening sun.
At the other end of this large room, there is ample space for a large dining table and several chairs. The kitchen takes up one corner and has a good range of cupboards and plenty of worktop space. There's even a marble slab ready for when you're working with pastry and doing your own baking!
Head downstairs via the wooden staircase noting another lovely textural round timber post on the turn. This lower ground floor has a real log cabin feel to it due to the extensive use of wood on the lower landing. Here there are four bedrooms (three large double and a single currently used as a dressing room) and the bathroom as well as extensive storage cupboards.
The master bedroom is a large double at the back. This is a lovely light room with windows to the side and back as well as double glass doors leading out to a patio below the conservatory / balcony. From here you can either just sit and enjoy nature or take a stroll down the path that winds down to the pond at the bottom of the garden.
Head back upstairs and through the hallway to the glazed entrance porch. On the other side, the large double garage has been converted for use as a home office / workshop / hobby room. A wooden wall has been erected behind the metal shutter doors. However, it can easily be reinstated as a garage if required.
Outside: Immediately outside the garage there is sufficient parking for two vehicles plus a large turning area. To the side of the house, a stone path winds down past planted areas with roses, seasonal flowers and herbaceous plants and continues under the conservatory and down through a sloping woodland garden to a flat grassed area at the bottom that borders the stream known as New Mill Dyke. Here you'll find a wildlife pond, raised beds and a greenhouse. These thoughtfully landscaped gardens are very much in keeping with the style and ambiance of the house and are the perfect place to feel at one with nature.
The location of this property is ideal for taking advantage of everything that New Mill. Holmfirth and the Holme Valley have to offer and with local schools within walking distance. It offers easy access to main commuter routes to Huddersfield, Wakefield, Leeds and Sheffield. For train travelers, it's a five minute drive to Brockholes station where you can take advantage the convenient hourly service between Huddersfield and Sheffield.
