The Orwell - A Three-Storey Semi-Detached Townhouse

The Orwell is an elegant and well-balanced three-storey semi-detached townhouse, thoughtfully designed to provide flexible living space ideally suited to modern family life.

The ground floor is arranged to maximise both practicality and comfort. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to a convenient downstairs WC and useful storage, before leading through to the heart of the home. The kitchen and dining area is positioned to the rear, offering a sociable space for family meals and entertaining, with excellent natural light and a pleasant outlook to the garden. To the front of the property, the living room provides a separate, comfortable retreat, ideal for relaxing at the end of the day.

The first floor offers a versatile arrangement of rooms, including two well-proportioned bedrooms and a dedicated study, perfect for home working or quiet reading. A contemporary family bathroom serves this level, while additional storage off the landing enhances everyday functionality.
Occupying the entire second floor is an impressive main bedroom suite, creating a private and tranquil space away from the main living areas. The bedroom benefits from a fitted wardrobe area, further storage, and a well-appointed en-suite shower room, making it an ideal principal retreat.

With accommodation arranged across three floors, The Orwell delivers exceptional flexibility, generous storage, and clear separation between living and sleeping areas. This stylish townhouse is perfectly suited to growing families, professionals, or anyone seeking a modern home with space to adapt as lifestyles change.
