Property description
Orchard Cottage is a well presented, detached residence, set back from the road behind a five-bar gate and a generous private driveway. The home occupies a near-central position on a large plot with delightful gardens, a detached double garage and ample parking. It was built in 1986 and later extended and lovingly refurbished to a high specification by the current occupiers, creating a substantial family home arranged over two floors. Measuring an impressive 2604.7 sq. ft. (excluding the garage), it provides well-balanced living and entertaining space.
Most of the accommodation is based on the ground floor, which provides flexibility to how this space can be arranged and used. The entrance hall leads to bedroom four and bedroom five/snug, which both benefit from a dual aspect and the use of a recently refitted bathroom. These rooms could be used as an internal annex, which would be ideal for a teenager or elderly relative.
The kitchen/family room and sitting room connect to one another and both enjoy access to a large courtyard/terrace area. The kitchen/family room measures 27\‘ x 15\‘4\" and was recently refitted to provide a wide range of quality space saving units, a built-in larder cupboard, an electrical appliance cupboard, integrated appliances, Minerelle work surfaces and a granite breakfast table. There is also a feature staircase and space for a dining table or sofa set up. The main sitting room is of exceptional proportions and enjoys a wood-burning stove, sliding doors to a patio area and bi-fold doors to a conservatory which enjoys views of the rear garden.
A study and formal dining room with storage space complete the ground floor.
On the first floor, a light, spacious landing with a built-in double airing cupboard leads to a shower room and three good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys an en suite shower room, a separate wardrobe/storage area and far reaching views of paddock and grazing land. Bedrooms two and three both offer useful storage space.
Outside, the property is approached via a spacious gravel driveway set behind a five-bar gate and post and rail fencing. There are mature and well-stocked borders of various plants, shrubs and small trees and a pathway that leads to the front door. The driveway continues down the side of the property and leads to a further parking area and a detached double garage. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with established borders of various plants and flowers. A large Indian sand stone terrace area provides shade and a pleasant seating area. A pathway leads to a further seating area and a garden pond. An enclosed area which is ideal for a greenhouse or garden shed is accessed via a gate.
