4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within the Vale of Evesham village of Norton, the property enjoys far-reaching countryside views to the rear, creating an immediate sense of space, privacy, and connection to the landscape beyond.

Approached via a generous driveway providing parking for up to five vehicles, the home presents a smart yet understated frontage that hints at the quality and scale within. Upon entering, a bright and welcoming hallway sets the tone, enhanced by clean contemporary lines and excellent natural light. From here, there is access to a practical under-stairs store, a neatly appointed cloakroom/ W.C., and a utility room designed to support the demands of modern family life. A separate study, positioned off the hall and enjoying a bay window overlooking the front driveway, offers an ideal home-office or quiet retreat.

The heart of the home lies in the stunning open-plan ground floor accommodation. An impressive kitchen/ breakfast room flows seamlessly into the dining area, forming a sociable and versatile space perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Bi-fold and French doors open directly onto the rear patio and gardens, blurring the line between inside and out and framing the beautiful countryside views beyond. Adjoining this space is a comfortable sitting room, featuring a bay window to the front and providing a cosy yet connected living area.

Upstairs, the sense of space and light continues. There are four generous double bedrooms, each well-proportioned and benefiting from ample built-in wardrobe and storage solutions, as well as attractive rural outlooks. Two of the bedrooms enjoy their own stylish en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath and contemporary white sanitaryware. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear gardens and the open countryside beyond.

Outside, the extensive rear gardens provide a tranquil setting for family life and entertaining alike. Paved seating areas and planter spaces lead onto generous lawns, framed by planted borders and several established, attractive trees – including the silver birch that gives the property its name – creating both structure and seasonal interest.

Designed with sustainability firmly in mind, The Birches benefits from solar panels with battery storage and an air source heat pump, offering impressive energy efficiency and reduced running costs without compromising on comfort or style. The house also benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

Altogether, The Birches represents a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke, energy-efficient family home in a popular village location, where contemporary living meets countryside calm. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, setting, and lifestyle on offer.
