Orchard Cottage

* The original cottage is believed to date to c 1,900, with a much later extension to create the spacious and very well-presented family home that it is today. * A covered porch/boot room leads into the inner hallway, and subsequently through to the spacious, ground floor accommodation. * A charming snug with exposed beams and wood-burner inset into what would have been the fireplace in the original old cottage, leads off the inner hallway and a further hall leads through to the sitting room and kitchen/dining room. * The sitting room is generously proportioned and benefits from a triple aspect, with French doors leading out to the patio terrace and garden. A feature brick-built fireplace with wood-burner set on a slate heart creates a lovely focal point for this spacious room. * An open-plan kitchen/dining room is located adjacent to the sitting room; the modern fitted kitchen offers plenty of storage, including two great larder cupboards, and benefits from an integrated (truncated)

Orchard Cottage Ctd.

* A utility room leads directly off the kitchen and provides further storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, with a back kitchen door leading out to a small courtyard. * The open plan dining room leads directly off the kitchen and benefits from a double aspect and patio doors lead out to the paved terrace seating area and garden, perfect for seasonal dining and entertaining. * There are two further reception rooms located on the ground floor which offer versatile spaces for a variety of uses. One room is currently being used as a study/home office but could easily be used as a children’s TV/Playroom, hobby room or a further sitting room. The second room has potential to be used as a fifth bedroom with en-suite, as there is already a bathroom in situ; and in conjunction with the current home office, a small annexe for older children or a dependent relative could easily be created. * Stairs from the inner hall lead up to a galleried landing (truncated)

The Outside

* The property is approached off a quiet village lane via a five-bar gate which leads onto a gravelled driveway, the parking area and the double garage. * A large, lawned and securely fenced (dog proof) garden surrounds the property, which is complemented by a variety of mature trees, hedges, and shrubs. * There is a patio terrace which is accessed via the garden, or internally off the sitting room and dining room, a great space for enjoying the surroundings, for family time and for socialising and entertaining. * The garden offers plenty of scope for keen gardeners to make their mark, and easily has space for veg beds, a fruit cage, and chickens, if desired. * A good timber outbuilding provides great storage for gardening equipment, bicycles, etc. * Lovely village location with excellent accessibility.
