To the right of the hall is the charming dual aspect living room with timber mullioned windows to the front elevation, exposed timber beamed ceiling and a living flame gas fire. Also off the hall is a second reception room which is currently set up as a dining room, featuring an exposed brick chimney breast and living flame gas fire. This room is open plan into an incredibly versatile orangery style reception hall which the current owners use as the main entrance off the driveway. Off this room is the fitted kitchen, a w.c. and a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room facilities. To the first floor the landing leads to the main bathroom, master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a second double bedroom. Off the second floor landing there is a useful storage cupboard and a further bedroom with gable window and exposed oak purlins. Externally, Birch Farm Cottage is approached through an electrically operated sliding wrought iron gate opening onto a driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles. The generously proportioned 70 Ft gardens are fully enclosed, mainly laid to lawn and enjoy a high degree of privacy. A flagstone patio is perfectly positioned to enjoy sun throughout the day.
