Birch Hill is a substantial four-bedroom detached family home set well back from Gullet Lane on about half an acre of established gardens. The house offers generous reception space including an elegant sitting room, a vaulted garden room that opens onto a large patio, and a substantial utility that links to a double garage — ideal for family life and entertaining. Far-reaching country views from the plot and mature trees create a private, semi-rural feel while remaining close to Kirby Muxloe village amenities and quick motorway access.
The layout suits a family wanting space and flexibility: three reception rooms plus a large kitchen and utility on the ground floor, with four bedrooms upstairs including a master with a Jack-and-Jill en-suite. There is clear potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning) should you wish to increase living space or modernise the layout. The large in-and-out driveway and double garage provide extensive parking for several vehicles.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the exterior and some internal areas are dated and will benefit from updating, double glazing was installed before 2002, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. Some trees on the grounds are covered by Tree Preservation Orders which will affect significant pruning or removal. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting higher running costs for the property.
Overall this is a rare, private plot in a very affluent area offering a solid family home with scope to personalise and add value. It will particularly suit buyers seeking space, a private garden setting and the headroom to renovate or extend in a desirable village location.
