BIRCH HOUSE is a most impressive Grade II listed home located within the centre of the village of Much Birch, being well positioned to give easy access to the cathedral city of Hereford and the bustling market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, with their excellent national road links.
The well proportioned principal accommodation is supplemented by a charming cottage annexe, Birch House Cottage, currently let generating a useful income stream but which of course could be used for family members or incorporated back in to the main house.
The entrance of Birch House opens into a wide and welcoming reception hallway featuring a decorative stained glass fanlight and side panels, exposed floor boards and ornate coving with doors leading to the principal reception rooms. The dining room provides a perfect space for entertaining, with full height sash windows with timber shutters enjoying views across the gardens. A breakfast room links the kitchen and orangery creating an easy flow for everyday living.
On the first floor are five bedrooms, with the two principal bedrooms having twin sash windows with shutters enjoying fine views. There are three bathrooms. Birch House Cottage provides an additional three double bedrooms, reception room and kitchen.
The gardens of Birch House fall predominantly to two sides; stepping out of the orangery you are onto a series of south westerly facing flagstone terraces, ideal for outside dining or entertaining being surrounded by beds full of roses, lavender and a whole variety of other flowers and shrubs creating a riot of seasonal colour and aromas. From here you are led on to a lawn bordered by a gravelled path tucked away you will find a private seating area with wrought iron arch covered in clematis and a climbing rose. Gateways lead to a wide expanse of lawn where you can enjoy the view back towards the house taking in the superb full width wrought iron veranda. A delightful 'woodland' walk runs down alongside the neighbouring farmland and provides extensive screening from the main road. In all about 1.7 acres. Birch House Cottage enjoys its own parking and has its own cottage garden.
