Orchard View, Walkley Wood, Nailsworth, GL6

Nestled in the tranquil embrace of Walkley Wood, Shortwood, 2 Orchard View emerges as a testament to impeccable design and meticulous upkeep. This statement home, rightfully earning the title of 'immaculate,' proudly overlooks the picturesque expanse of the Newmarket Valley. Over the past decade, 2 Orchard View has undergone two transformative improvement programs, each leaving an indelible mark of modern elegance. In 2014, a comprehensive renovation breathed new life into the property, extending its footprint and meticulously updating its electrical and plumbing systems. The current owners have further elevated this exceptional residence by adding a stunning 27' kitchen/family room, complete with a roof terrace, a timber-clad porch, and a brilliant detached home office. Step through the welcoming timber-clad porch into the entrance hall, where a cloakroom/WC. with plumbing for a washing machine awaits. To the left lies the inviting sitting room, graced with a fireplace adorned with a wood-burning stove, while to the right, the extraordinary 27' kitchen/family room beckons. This first-class living space effortlessly accommodates cooking, dining, and relaxation, its underfloor heating ensuring year-round comfort. Impeccable kitchen fittings by the esteemed local firm Dixon Grey complement the room's modern aesthetic, while bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the front terrace, inviting the breath-taking valley views inside. Ascending the staircase from the hall, you arrive at the first floor, where a landing opens up to a principal bedroom featuring an en suite shower room and glazed doors leading to the garden. A family bathroom and two additional bedrooms complete this level. Throughout the property, meticulous attention to detail and a discerning design sensibility are evident, creating an ambiance of refined elegance. Windows at the front of the property capture the sweeping vistas of the valley and the captivating countryside beyond. 2 Orchard View is a masterpiece of modern living, a harmonious blend of impeccable design, thoughtful renovations, and a prime location. It is a home that truly embodies the essence of immaculate living.

The property is complemented by a detached home office, garage, front terrace and roof garden. Steps lead up from the parking space and garage to the front of the house. The view across the Newmarket valley here is superb, and the owners have made to most of this by creating a paved terrace here that connects brilliantly with the kitchen/family room once the bi-fold doors are open. Steps lead up at the side of the house to the rear garden, and this area can also be reached by the glazed double doors in the principal bedroom. A couple of steps take you on to the roof garden. This is also paved, with a frameless glass balustrade for the full impact of the view and exterior lighting. The home office is detached and insulated, and is the perfect work from home space. Feature lighting has been carefully used, and power connections are fitted at the front and back of the property, including fully powered garage.
