3 bedroom detached house for sale

Birds Close is an individually designed, spacious 3/4-bedroom detached home set on approximately 3 acres (subject to measuring) in the sought-after village of Burton Overy, within a conservation area. Set back from the road, the property enjoys a lawned frontage and a side driveway leading to a double garage with electric roller doors. The driveway extends behind the property, offering additional parking and access to a well-maintained stable/garage block and paddock.

The ground floor accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway featuring a flagstone floor, with a convenient shower room off. At the rear, an open-plan breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units, integrated appliances, and a dining area overlooking the rear garden and paddock, with French doors opening onto the terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen, a rear lobby provides access to a walk-in pantry and a spacious boot room/utility.

The property also offers exciting potential for further development, subject to planning consent. There is scope to create a principal suite with a dressing room, and to enlarge the ground floor living accommodation, all without impacting the generous plot or outdoor space.

The west-facing rear garden features a lawned area with mature flower borders and a hedged perimeter, creating a private and peaceful outdoor space. The equestrian block is in excellent condition and includes a double garage, secure barn, tack room with fitted sink, open-fronted stall that could easily be converted to a second stable, and a stable with front and rear access.
