4 bedroom detached house

7 Birch Meadow is a modern family home located in the beautiful village of Barkway, Hertfordshire that was constructed by Storey Homes in 2020. The property has since been improved by the current owners with the addition of the dining room and landscaping of the rear garden.

Entering the property via the front door into the entrance hallway, there are doors that lead to the living room, family room/study, cloakroom and kitchen plus stairs to the first floor with a storage cupboard below.

The living room is bright and spacious with a window to the front aspect, underfloor heating and a large opening into the recently constructed dining room. The dining room links the living room and the kitchen seamlessly and has double doors to the garden, electrically and temperature-controlled skylights and a further opening into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with matching base and eye level units with worksurface over, and integrated Bosch appliances that include; a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, four-ring hob and extractor fan. There is enough space in the kitchen to have a freestanding island or breakfast table if you wish. From the kitchen, there is a door to the utility room which has more base level units with worksurface over, gas boiler and back door. Lastly, on the ground floor, there is a separate family room which could also make an ideal office that benefits from windows in two aspects making it a very bright and versatile space.

Upstairs, the spacious first-floor landing provides access to the four bedrooms, family bathroom and airing cupboard. The master is located at the front of the property with windows in two aspects, a built-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is located to the rear with a built-in wardrobe. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are both double rooms and are situated on the other half of the home, front and back respectively. The family bathroom comprises a three-piece suite, bath with shower connection over, wash hand basin and WC. 

Outside, the rear south-facing garden has been landscaped by the current owners to feature a circular lawn surrounded by white decorative Cotswold chippings to create two seating/terrace areas. This is all boarded by planted beds, shrubs and fencing. There is further access to the single garage which has power and lighting and storage in the eves. To the front, there is off-street parking for two cars and a delightful front garden that is mainly lawned with low-level infant shrubs.
