" A detached two bedroom house now in need of extensive refurbishment and modernisation, enjoying a semi-rural location on the edge of Sidbury.


Birch Cottage benefits from a pleasant location on the edge of Sidbury, with some far-reaching views over neighbouring fields yet within a reasonable distance of the village centre. The property is now in need of a programme of refurbishment and modernisation, although we understand that in 2005 the main roof was replaced, with the porch roof being re-covered in 2007. The accommodation comprises an entrance lobby, porch, dining room, kitchen, sitting room and sun room, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.


A shared driveway gives access to an area of private garden/off road parking and there is also a single garage and a pretty rear garden having a south easterly aspect.
