Orchard View

Discover your own piece of paradise in the medieval, country village of Emley, at the peaceful and secluded Orchard View.

Sublime setting

Only eight miles east of Huddersfield, yet in a world of its own, rediscover the restorative powers of rurality at Orchard View, tucked away along Broomfield Close, a quiet cul-de-sac looking out over the countryside.

Set across from a beautiful orchard, the aptly named Orchard View offers uninterrupted views, changing with the seasons.

OWNER QUOTE: "It feels very secluded, private and secure here. The views are so lovely."

Formerly a dated dormer bungalow, Orchard View was rebuilt by the current owners nine years ago; the vision being modern, clean line, clutter-free living with lots of storage.

Pull along the drive where there is ample parking for two cars alongside an integral garage, with electric remote-controlled door.

A handsome home to look upon, stonework harmonises with irish oak to the front, as you make your way to the contemporary hardwood front door.

A warm welcome

Step inside, into the light and bright entrance hall, where the open tread oak and steel staircase allows light to flow through. Jasmine white walls set the scene for the neutral décor that permeates throughout. Hang your coat and leave your shoes in the built-in storage cupboard - perfect for winter coats and boots, before freshening up in the elegantly tiled cloakroom on the right, furnished with wash basin and WC.

Through the door to the left, make your way into the living room, where wooden flooring flows out underfoot and light streams in through the large, sliding patio doors framing views out in the direction of the orchard to the front. Decorated in soft white tones, contemporary spotlighting shines down from above.

Soak up the sun

Slide open the doors and sit out on the front terrace as you soak up the afternoon and evening sunshine. In winter months, snuggle up on the sofa and watch the flames flicker in the contemporary log-burning stove, inset within the wall, with alcove storage for logs below. An angled media wall is a quirky, modern touch, with television mounted flush to the wall. To the rear wall, an enchanting internal window borrows light from the dining room beyond, connecting both rooms whilst retaining a sense of individuality and separation.

A second door leads out of the living room to connect you with the dining room to the rear. Tiled in cream underfoot, timber framed French doors open up to the rear patio and garden, ideal for alfresco dining in the summer months.

Savour the views

Follow the fantastic, easy flow of this stylish home through into the kitchen, where a range of cream high gloss units offers an abundance of storage. Wide windows maintain a constant connection with the outdoors, whilst there is also access out to a sheltered loggia at the side, ideal for alfresco dining whatever the weather.

Cook up a feast for family and friends, the kitchen at Orchard View is comprehensively equipped with an integrated dishwasher, microwave, oven and induction hob alongside two fridge-freezers. A home without compromise, every amenity that can help make life easier has been considered, including an instant boiling tap and wine fridge with capacity for 18 bottles.

Sandy-toned quartz Silestone worktops provide plenty of preparation space, whilst there is also a handy pantry store off the kitchen, ideal for storing the ironing board and other household essentials.

Emerge from the kitchen into the utility room, where the integrated washer and dryer are discreetly tucked away from the main entertaining spaces. Wooden worktops provide space for laundry. Access is also available directly into the garage.

Sweet dreams

Reconnect with the entrance hall and take the Irish oak and brushed steel open tread staircase up to the first-floor landing.

OWNER QUOTE: "We love the privacy, views, outdoor space and sunshine, equally inside, and out."

Views greet you instantly as you open the door on the left and step through to the main bedroom. Wake up to far reaching rural views from the double bed, centrally set in the middle of the room, with the stud wall to the rear concealing a handy dressing area with fitted wardrobes to the walls offering ample storage.

Refresh and revive in the ensuite bathroom, tiled to the walls and underfoot and furnished with centrally-filling bath, separate shower, two-drawer vanity unit wash basin with LED mirror above, and WC.

Returning to the landing, make your way along, turning right to reach the fourth bedroom, a single currently used for storage, which could easily serve as a home office or nursery, with fantastic views out over the orchard to the front.

Across the landing, relaxation awaits in the family bathroom, fully tiled in soothing spa-shades. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the centrally-filling bath or a refreshing spritz in the large shower. This bathroom also features a wash basin and WC.

Bright rooms are a staple at Orchard View, with bedroom three suffused in light courtesy of a large timber framed window. Another good-size double bedroom, a natural alcove beneath the angled roofline features sockets and is ideal for a desk or dressing table.

Overlooking the sumptuous views to the front of the home, bedroom two, currently a spacious study is nestled next door. With reliable super-fast fibre broadband, working from home is a breeze.

Above there is a large loft which could be boarded and used for additional storage should you desire.

Low maintenance leisure

Outside, soak up the sun throughout the day at Orchard View. In the mornings, enjoy a coffee on the rear terrace where the sun falls on the garden until mid afternoon, later in the afternoon make the most of the views from the front terrace, where you can sit and relax in the warmth of the sun until sunset.

Low maintenance lawn extends to the rear, flat and ideal for children and pets, with unspoiled rural views.

Near and far

Step outside and explore the charming medieval village of Emley, a village brimming with history, predating the Domesday Book.

See vestiges of the village's history in the remnants of the market cross in the centre of the village, the picturesque Millennium green and historic lanes and streets, home to a newsagent, village store and Post Office.

Call in at local pub The White Horse and get to know the locals. This village also has a cricket club, two churches and a community hall.

Families are well served by local schools, with Emley First School - an outstanding primary - and Emley Playschool on the doorstep. Just three miles away is the local secondary school, Shelley College which is graded by Ofsted as outstanding.

Wrapped up in rurality, set off from the doorstep in any direction to discover a new walk, whilst retaining all the essential commuter connections to the city.

For family days out, head to nearby Cannon Hall Farm, also home to a playground, tube maze and farm shop. Bretton Hall Sculpture Park is also only ten minutes away, whilst the National Coal Mining Museum is also less than ten minutes' drive away.
