Birch House is an architect-designed contemporary family home set in the heart of Peasenhall, built in 2022 and arranged over two levels. The house offers flexible accommodation with four bedrooms, a dramatic double-height living space and generous indoor–outdoor links onto a Mediterranean-style terrace and meadow garden. High-spec kitchen appliances and a walk-in pantry add practical, everyday comfort.
Sustainability and low running costs are genuine selling points: the building includes an air-source heat pump, MVHR, underfloor heating, 12 photovoltaic panels and a 7.5kW battery. High-performance fabric (walls with an average U-value of 0.13 W/m²K) and low-energy services give this property strong environmental credentials while preserving modern comfort.
Outside, the large plot is planted with fruit trees, wildflower meadow areas and a sheltered Japanese-style garden, plus a sandstone terrace for summer entertaining. A private shingle driveway provides off-street parking for up to four cars. The village location offers a strong community feel and straightforward access to Saxmundham station and the Suffolk coast.
Practical points to note: the house runs on electricity as its main fuel (tariff unspecified) and has a gas hob in the kitchen, which may affect energy running choices. Broadband and mobile signals are average in this remoter rural location. Council tax sits in a moderate band D. Overall this is a high-quality, low-energy contemporary home that will appeal to families seeking village life close to the coast.
