Cades Orchard, Painters Forstal

A substantial detached five bedroomed residence built in 1994 and set within an incredibly envious private setting in Cades Orchard, which backs onto the highly desirable Lorenden Preparatory School and the 45 acre Lorenden Park.

Number Three occupies a generous 0.52 acres of beautiful gardens which includes its own mini apple orchard and an extensive driveway; this balances perfectly with almost 2800 sq.ft of spacious and versatile accommodation found internally. This much-loved family home presents an opportunity to make further enhancements and potentially create a completely self-contained annexe within the west wing of the house.

The reeded glass front door sits central to the attractive facade which has wooden casement bay windows and exposed brickwork. Architecturally the house has been thoughtfully designed and blends well with its equally sizeable neighbouring properties.
The grand reception hall is flooded with light from the sky windows and leads round to the east wing where one will find the main living accommodation for the property. A kitchen-breakfast room provides an array of wall and floor units with several integrated appliances including a double Neff oven and microwave.

To one side of the kitchen there is a large utility room with access to the garden, whilst a serving hatch connects with the formal dining room adjacent, this could be knocked through to create a large open plan kitchen diner. There is a triple aspect, elegant sitting room with electric fireplace which offers wonderful views of the garden with French doors leading onto the sun terrace and fruit orchard.

To the front of the house there is a second, double bay-windowed large sitting/family room and to the first floor above are two double bedrooms and well-appointed family bathroom. There are a further two en-suite double bedrooms on the ground floor and additionally, a separate study/fifth bedroom

The west wing houses a very large, partially converted, attic space comprising some 600 square feet, with its own full staircase that potentially lends itself to further conversion into an annexe area, perfect for multi-generational living.

OUTSIDE:

Number Three Cades Orchard occupies 0.52 acres of wonderful grounds which wrap around the property and includes an extensive driveway to the front and lawned gardens to the rear.

Mature trees create a secluded backdrop, whilst topiary hedging, and established shrubs border the patio. To the right there is a self contained orchard area with a variety of both eating and cooking apple trees, whilst in the far corner a greenhouse is ideal for keen gardeners.

The double garage can be accessed from inside the house whilst the first floor of the garage has been partially converted and has its own staircase also accessed internally.
