ORCHARD Cottage is set in the village of Bircher on the Shropshire/Herefordshire borders. It was built in the early 1990s and very successfully combines all modern day living comforts with the character of a traditional country cottage. There is also a wealth of character with exposed ceiling and wall timbers, exposed brick work and a lovely stone inglenook fireplace.

There is plenty of quite flexible accommodation. The main sitting room is particularly bright having windows at either end and a further window to the side. A feature of the room is the stone inglenook fireplace hosting a wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth. There are also exposed ceiling timbers. There is a charming open plan kitchen and dining/study area. Within the kitchen are a range of base and wall units and a built-in oven with ceramic hob inset above. The dining/study area has exposed ceiling timbers, an attractive stone centre pillar and glazed double doors which lead out into the south-westerly facing conservatory with double doors leading out onto a terrace. This takes full advantage of the daytime sunshine. The utility room has ample base units, wall units and worktops. A glazed door leads into a rear lobby off which is the ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.

From the hall stairs rise to the first floor landing. The master bedroom is another very bright sunny room having windows at either end. There is an excellent range of built-in wardrobes, cupboards and drawers. From this room there are views across to the Clee Hills in the distance. There are also very attractive exposed wall timbers. The second bedroom also has exposed wall timbers and a built-in wardrobe. There is also access into an en-suite WC and wash hand basin. The third bedroom, again with exposed wall timbers has previously been used as an office and has been fitted with a corner desk unit with drawers and a filing cabinet.

The bathroom comprises a white suite of bath with shower above, wash hand basin and WC.

The house sits in the centre of its gardens. To the front there is a large level lawn with flower borders which contain a good variety of mature shrubs, plants and bushes. To one side of the conservatory is a lovely paved terrace which attracts a good amount of sunshine. There is a further raised terrace. Within the detached garage there is plenty of space for a workshop area and there is electric lighting and sockets. The stone driveway provides plenty of parking space.
