Birch Cottage is a well‑appointed, individual chalet bungalow built in 2020 and set on a large plot in the desirable village of Leigh. The house benefits from strong energy credentials — solar panels with battery storage, an air‑source heat pump, underfloor heating and double‑glazed sash‑style windows — which reduce running costs and suit buyers seeking low‑carbon, low‑cost heating.
The single‑storey layout with a first‑floor bedroom level offers flexible family living. A full‑length open plan kitchen/living area with a quartz‑topped island and large sliding doors frames glorious southerly countryside views and opens to a paved patio for alfresco dining. Four double bedrooms, two Jack‑and‑Jill bathrooms and an ensuite to the master provide comfortable accommodation for family life or regular guests.
Outside the property sits behind a brick‑paved driveway with parking for 2–3 cars and an oversized single garage that houses the solar battery components. The south‑facing, landscaped garden includes lawn, shrub borders, a greenhouse/potting shed and feature arches — a private, sunny space for entertaining and gardening.
Practical points to note: the home is freehold and located in a very low flood‑risk area with good nearby amenities and superfast FTTP broadband (up to 80/20 Mbps). Council Tax is Band F and mobile/broadband signals are average, which may matter for full‑time home‑workers. Overall this is a modern, energy‑efficient home in an attractive rural setting, ideal for families seeking countryside living with low ongoing energy costs.
