Description
Orchard House is a modern four bedroom detached family home situated within the Conservation Area in the heart of the desirable village of Cradley, enjoying views from the front of the property towards the church and set within a large mature and private garden. The property has been well maintained by the current owner and offers well-proportioned accommodation benefiting from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

The master bedroom has been reconfigured creating a separate dressing room and en-suite bathroom along with the addition of an en-suite shower room to the second bedroom. These alterations have resulted in the creation of a spacious and flexible home, easily adaptable for everyday family life.
