Property description
Orwell Terrace is a row of 8 bay-windowed Victorian houses set on a quiet, private lane at the edge of this picturesque and highly regarded village. The position is quite exceptional, providing privacy and seclusion. The terraced cottages stand back behind deep front gardens and also have their own rear gardens. There are further generous garden areas situated on the opposite side of the lane, providing an unusually large amount of land for houses of their type.
The house retains a lovely sense of period character, including tall ceilings, large sash windows and stripped wood flooring. The sitting room has a working open fireplace, built-in storage cupboards and a large bay window which looks out to the front garden. The dining room has a superb period fireplace with working wood burning stove and original wood panelling which opens onto the well-equipped, dual aspect kitchen.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, a large storage cupboard and a bright and attractive fitted bathroom with roll-top bath.
The rear garden is well-kept and designed to be low-maintenance. There is a timber garden shed and an access gate at the end, leading to the road via a shared footpath. The front cottage-style garden has a wide range of range of various plants and flowers and a small paved patio which, given the position of the house, is suitable for sitting out. The property also features a long strip of land which can be found opposite the house and adjoins the open countryside. This land has a large lawned area and a small orchard, complete with mature plum and apple trees, located at the end. There is also a gravelled area opposite this lawn which provides parking for two vehicles.
