Stylishly-presented detached family home with light and bright modern interiors, in a sought-after residential road on the edge of Newick.
Understood to have been built around 1970, Birch Hollow is a detached chalet-style family home, located in a sought-after residential road on the western edge of Newick, with a lovely southerly outlook over its own garden to fields beyond.
The property offers nearly 2,400 square feet of accommodation over two floors, which has been recently redecorated in a light and bright, neutral colour palette complemented by modern oak joinery and wooden flooring through the ground floor; there remains good potential to further extend, subject to the necessary consents.
The front door opens to a central entrance hall, from which an oak staircase with glass balustrade rises to the first floor. The large and versatile dual aspect reception room has an expanse of bi-fold doors opening fully to the terrace, and an inset woodburner with polished granite hearth.
The kitchen and dining room also has bi-fold doors to the garden, and is fitted with a good range of contemporary, high-gloss white units and a large central island, with quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances including a Siemens double oven and warming drawer, gas hob, an integrated refrigerator, two slimline wine fridges, and a Quooker boiling water tap.
A utility/cloakroom with further units, spaces for laundry appliances, a basin and WC completes the ground floor.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a lovely room, comprising a spacious bedroom with built in storage, and an en suite bathroom with underfloor heating, partitioned from the bedroom by way of a frosted glass screen, with a wet-room style walk in shower, a modern freestanding bath and a tall window framing the view to the garden. Bedroom five is currently used as a study, and has a range of fitted furniture including a desk and book shelving.
Outside
The property is accessed from Lower Station Road via a generous driveway offering ample off-street parking, edged by shrub borders and with a central fir tree and driveway lighting.
There is gated access at both sides of the house to the south-facing rear garden. A stone terrace, with plenty of space for an outside table and chairs, spans the back of the house, with a stylish sunken fire-pit area to one end, pathways and outside lighting.
The lawn extends out from the terrace, enclosed by close-board fencing, mature shrubs and flower borders, with a feature waterfall on the eastern bank; low hedging to the southern boundary enhances the rural outlook beyond. A pathway leads down one side of the lawn, past an ornamental fountain, to the far end of the garden, where there is a timber shed and two raised beds. A further metal storage shed, of about 100 sq ft with a fitted workbench, lies to the eastern side of the house, together with an open log store. In all, the plot extends to just over a quarter of an acre.

I think Birch Hollow is a charming family home with a lot of potential, offering both space and a beautiful outlook. The recent redecoration with neutral tones and modern finishes gives it a fresh feel, while the possibility to expand further makes it a great investment for the future.
