Description
Orchard House is an exceptional five-bedroom detached family home, constructed circa 2009 to an impressive specification and subsequently enhanced by the current owners to create a beautifully appointed residence combining modern efficiency with versatile accommodation.
Set behind automatic gates, this substantial home offers an enviable balance of elegant entertaining space, practical family living and high-quality contemporary finishes throughout. A striking vaulted reception hall immediately creates a lasting first impression, featuring a magnificent oak staircase and galleried landing that forms the centrepiece of the home. The accommodation flows effortlessly from the entrance hall into a superb open-plan living environment where a spacious sitting area connects seamlessly with a recently refitted kitchen, creating an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Twin sets of bi-folding doors open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, flooding the interior with natural light and providing an excellent connection between the inside and outside spaces. A thoughtfully designed conservatory extension currently serves as a dining room and further enhances the entertaining potential of the property, offering delightful views across the garden. A separate utility room adds further practicality. Complementing the main living space is a generous family room with an adjoining study, providing excellent flexibility for modern lifestyles, whether utilised as a home office, media room, playroom or additional reception accommodation.
One of the home's most appealing features is its adaptable layout, with two well-proportioned double bedrooms situated on the ground floor and served by a beautifully appointed bath and shower room. This arrangement is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, visiting guests or those seeking single-level accommodation options.
To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom suite enjoys a dual-aspect outlook and benefits from a substantial walk-in wardrobe together with an elegant en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms each enjoy the luxury of their own en-suite facilities, ensuring comfort and privacy for family members and guests alike. In total, the property offers a family bathroom and three en-suite bathrooms.
Externally, Orchard House continues to impress. The property is approached via the electric gates opening onto a generous gravel driveway providing parking and turning space for numerous vehicles, together with access to the attached garage. The west-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and tranquil outdoor setting, featuring extensive decking, mature screening hedges, specimen trees and attractive feature lighting. A detached cabin garden room offers further versatility and could serve a variety of purposes including a home office, gym, studio or hobbies room.
The property has also been enhanced with an impressive range of energy-efficient features including solar panels, an air source heat pump, intelligent heating controls and air conditioning, combining modern sustainability with year-round comfort.

Seller Insight
“Orchard House has been our home since 2021, and from the moment we first walked through the door, it simply felt right. The beautifully presented interiors, spacious layout, excellent schools nearby and easy access to major roads meant it truly ticked every box for our family.” “Since living here, we have continued to enhance and modernise the property, despite it already being a lovely modern home when we bought it. We added a conservatory, fitted a new kitchen, installed solar panels and an air source heat pump.” “My favourite room is the sitting area. It is spacious and filled with natural light, especially during the summer months. One of the things we love most is sitting there in the evenings watching the beautiful sunsets. The hallway is another feature we have always loved, its bright with high ceilings and a stunning staircase that gives the house a grand feel.”
.
“The garden is private, surrounded by high hedges and not overlooked, with open land to one side which makes it feel peaceful. It enjoys sunshine throughout the day and has been the perfect space for family life, with the playhouse and swings bringing joy to the grandchildren.” “Orchard House has also been a wonderful home for entertaining. We have hosted many family parties here, especially for the grandchildren, and the generous layout works perfectly. With two large sitting rooms and all bedrooms having en suites, it has always been an easy and comfortable home for welcoming guests to stay.”
.
“It has the charm and friendliness of village life whilst still being incredibly convenient, with most amenities less than half a mile away, including Waitrose and other supermarkets. There is always something happening at the village hall and local church, yet the area still remains peaceful and quiet.” “What I will miss most is the calmness and privacy of the home and its surroundings. It offers such a peaceful environment whilst still being brilliantly connected to major motorways and transport links. We are only moving to be closer to family, otherwise this is a home we would have happily stayed in for many more years.”
