Description
Accommodation - The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living kitchen, where the kitchen and dining areas are partially separated from the inviting living space. The kitchen features an excellent range of fitted Shaker-style units, a variety of integrated appliances and space for a Range-style cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen, a hallway provides room for a fridge freezer, access to a side entrance, and a doorway leading to the utility room, which offers additional storage and space for white goods. The dining area benefits from a glazed door that opens to the rear of the property, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Flowing effortlessly from the dining space, the living area is warmed by a charming log-burning stove and features a French door leading into a bright conservatory, which in turn opens onto a secluded courtyard with veranda and reflecting pond which can also be accessed by the garden room.
On the opposite end of the property, a well-proportioned study provides access to the bedroom accommodation and leads into a second reception room. The two double bedrooms are complemented by two beautifully appointed bath/shower rooms. A glazed hallway extending from the study leads to a delightful garden room, thoughtfully converted by the current owners. This light-filled space boasts extensive glazing and doors opening to the front of the property, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Outside - The Old Orchard is nestled within a generous and beautifully landscaped wrap-around plot of approximately a third of an acre. The grounds are divided into terraced herbaceous borders, thriving kitchen garden, lawned area with island beds and small orchard. The mature shrubs, specimen trees and climbing roses are complemented by a variety of seating areas. Enclosed on all sides, the garden offers exceptional privacy, creating the perfect retreat for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. The property is accessed via a shared approach that leads to a private, gated driveway, offering ample off-road parking.
Planning Permission - Planning permission has been granted for a loft conversion, offering the potential to create a third bedroom. (Planning Ref: 24/00506/FULHH)
