House For Sale £750,000
Martin Webb (Ref MW0470) Tucked away on the edge of the village of Great Yeldham, Birch House is one of three stand out homes on a exclusive eco development called The Grove. Elevations of cedar cladding, crisp render and expanses of glass give the house a contemporary look right out of the pages of a design magazine.
Boasting just over 2000 sq. Feet of living space, the property has been designed with rooms that are generous, multifunctional and a pleasure to spend time in.
Birch House is located at the end of a private drive and set in beautifully manicured gardens. The house is flooded with natural light with well proportioned open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with multiple double doors opening onto different areas of the garden. Additionally downstairs is home to a utility room and shower room and versatile fourth bedroom which can double as a study, playroom or separate reception room. Upstairs the master bedroom suite includes a spacious dressing room which leads to a luxury en suite. There are two further first floor double bedrooms serviced by a generous size family bathroom. The garden is a good size and wraps around the front, side and rear of the house. Also noteworthy is an oversized garage and additional parking space and electric car charging point.
What is a ‘lifetime home’?
A lifetime home is designed with flexibility in mind. Birch House benefits from the option of a ground floor bedroom, plus downstairs shower room designed to enable wheelchair access – ideal for those with limited mobility either now or in the future.
The property represents a legacy for future generations and a shrewd investment, with rapidly escalating fuel costs now a major consideration.
The internal layout of the house is designed to be flexible and practical, meeting Lifetime Homes standards. Built in 2013 to (at the time) level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, meaning the property was built with exceptional levels of insulation and airtightness, reduced water consumption, A+ rated appliances and provision for home-working. Solar thermal panels on the roof provide hot water, an air source heat pump powers the heating and rainwater is harvested to re-use in washing machines, WCs and outside taps. These features reduce your carbon footprint and help to keep running costs low.
Established ash and oak trees create natural privacy. Permeable hard surfaces on the drive allow water to flow freely into the soil to nourish the greenery and encourage biodiversity.
