DESCRIPTION
Freebirch House has, over the last few years, been extensively modernised and extended to now offer an immaculately presented home with work which has been carried out to the highest standard and with great attention to detail. The house is of stone construction under a stone slate roof. The house is approached down a private drive giving access to only three houses, a pair of electric gates open into a stone cobbled courtyard with ample parking and access to a double garage with electric up and over door.
Ground floor
A pair of oak front doors open into a double height reception hall with oak flooring, a working fireplace, stairs to the first floor and a double height arched glazed window overlooking the rear garden. To the right a door opens into a large, dual aspect drawing room with oak flooring, an attractive stone fireplace, a door leading into a study area with rear stairs, a door to the front garden and a further door leading into the garage. The garage could quite easily, subject to planning, be converted to create further accommodation within the house if required. To the left of the hall the kitchen/dining room is fitted with an excellent range of walnut wall and floor units with touch open drawers and a large central island with sink unit set into a Silkstone worktop and Quooker hot tap providing boiling water. There is a four oven oil fired AGA, a Siemens combi oven and Miele ceramic hob. The kitchen has a limestone floor with timed under-floor heating and a large dining area with double doors opening onto a pretty York stone paved rear patio. A further inner hall gives access to a large utility room, cloakroom and a good sized children’s playroom/sitting room with timed electric under-floor heating below a limestone floor and double doors out to the front garden.
First floor
The main staircase rises to a gallery overlooking the reception hall. To the left is a generous guest bedroom with a large walk-in storage room and well fitted en suite bathroom with limestone floor and separate shower cubicle with power shower. To the other side is the large master bedroom with lovely views over the gardens and a good sized en suite bathroom fitted with CP Hart sanitary ware and also with limestone floors and a separate shower cubicle with power shower. A door opens through into a further bedroom/dressing room. The rear staircase rises to a landing giving access to a further double bedroom and a fully tiled bathroom.
Outside
To the right of the driveway is a pretty self contained garden room/orangery with aluminium powder coated windows whilst to the left is a lawned area with low box hedging and a range of stone outbuildings comprising a workshop, store, dog kennel and run. The front of the house has well stocked borders planted with an array of mature trees, shrubs and annuals including catmint, roses, alchemilla mollis, box hedging and a beautiful wisteria to the front of the house. Behind the garden room are two further outbuildings, one currently used as a duck/chicken house complete with a secure fenced area whilst the other offers a good storage area. Adjacent to this area is a formal garden with ornamental fountain and pond surrounded by a parterre with box hedging, an avenue of hornbeams then separate this from a further water feature in the form of a re-circulating stone stepped waterfall. To the rear of the house is a further pretty paved patio area once again surrounded by mature planting with a variety of shrubs, plants and trees. Beyond the formal aspect to the garden is an area of meadow land which, should it be required, could be fenced off for a pony or other such livestock.
SITUATION
Freebirch is a small hamlet situated within a short distance of the villages of Baslow and Cutthorpe, whilst Sheffield and the market towns of Chesterfield and Bakewell are within easy reach with their array of shopping, transport and recreational facilities.
