General Description
Orchard House
Orchard House was built in 2006 by the current owners who sympathetically converted the existing steadings to create a wonderful family home and a detached cottage. Sitting in approximately 2.5 acres, the property offers a peaceful setting with a high degree of privacy. Externally there is a courtyard, areas of formal lawn, woodland, an orchard, pond and a large barn. Within the grounds there is an area of land that would make an ideal building plot for a detached house, subject to planning permission and this could be developed or sold by a new owner. The property is approached along a country lane from the village road with a few other neighbouring properties and is positioned at the end of the lane. The driveway offers ample parking and gate piers give access into a lovely courtyard, providing access to Orchard House and The Steading. The front door of Orchard House opens into a large hall, with a staircase rising to the first floor. The hall gives access to two formal reception rooms, a spacious dining room and sitting room both with fireplaces, perfect for cosy winter evenings. Also off the hall is a guest double bedroom, serviced by a shower room/WC. An inner hall leads through into a fantastic kitchen-dining room, previously one of the former steadings. This wonderfully bright space has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and brickwork and is fitted with a contemporary kitchen. Off the kitchen is a utility/boot room giving access to the drive and garden. French doors lead from the kitchen into a stunning garden room with bi-fold doors leading out onto a terrace. The garden room is very versatile and has a wood-burning stove. On the first floor there is a landing giving access to four spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The Steading
The Steading is detached and is accessed from both the courtyard and a rear back door. The ground floor offers a great vaulted living, dining and kitchen with two en-suite bedrooms. On the second floor there are two separate mezzanine spaces that can be used as bedrooms.
Outside
Orchard House sits in approximately 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds including an orchard, woodland and a pond. There is a large detached barn and an area of ground that would be an ideal building plot, subject to planning.
