Enchanting Arrival

Comfort and warmth combine in the entrance hallway, where polished parquet flooring emanates a classic sense of character. Ahead, the oak staircase turns elegantly upward, with storage for coats and shoes available in the cloak cupboard.

Wine and Dine

A family home in every sense, light and laughter resonate in the kitchen, blending modern architectural touches with traditional, timeless character. Overhead light streams down from the Velux window above, inset within the crisp white, spotlit ceiling, while bespoke oak cabinetry, honey tones and finely crafted fielded panelling bring warmth, texture and enduring craftsmanship. Storage is built in at every turn, with an array of cabinets, drawers, shelves and wine racks seamlessly sewn into the design. Country comfort comes from the royal blue Aga with two gas ovens and fan assisted electric ovens, with companion gas hob.

The Home Cook's Paradise

The kitchen flows effortlessly into the long, light-filled day room, where a trio of picture windows draw the glorious garden views into frame and French doors open to invite al fresco dining on the terrace throughout the sizzling summer months. Versatile by design, arrange the space to suit family needs, currently with the seating area situated to the left, creating a cosy space to relax and unwind, with a set of French doors leading once again to the lush, landscaped garden.

Relax and Unwind

The games room extends the versatility of Orchard End, ideal for entertaining or enabling younger family members to spend time with friends after school. Tiled underfoot, in cream washed wood style, with built-in cupboards for jigsaws, board games and more, arched windows keep a constant connection with the outdoors, which is easily accessed through a side door. Flexible rooms allow the opportunity to come together as a family or seek out quiet spaces to relax and retreat in peace and quiet.

Bringing the Outdoors In

Opening up from the other side of the kitchen with parquet flooring underfoot, a snug with garden views connects through to the formal dining room and sitting room – a vast, sociable hub offering instant access to the garden through French doors and reconnecting back to the entrance hall through double doors. Light and bright, fern green and cream shades exemplify a classic country palette, resonating with the rurality of the setting and surrounding nature. A modern fireplace with inset logburning stove issues toasty warmth, making for a real winter retreat and the most magical of rooms for the family to gather.

Practical Places

Off the games room, a handy cloakroom with laundry area is ideal when entertaining, while storage can be found off the entrance hallway. Storage is abundance at Orchard End, with a dedicated storeroom on the first floor providing access through to the loft space. Work from home in the privacy and comfort of the study, with leafy views out over the garden.

And So To Bed

On the ground floor, discover the first of two accessible bedrooms, with space for a double bed and a wealth of builtin wardrobes and dressing table storage. Freshen up in the elegantly tiled shower room en suite. Overlooking the manicured shrubs and immaculate lawn to the front, a second double bedroom with en suite shower can also be found. Ascend the handsome oak staircase to the first floor to discover two additional double bedrooms beneath the crisp white, sloping ceilings, offering an intimate feel. Large Velux windows shower light down into both of these double bedrooms which feature built-in storage and are served by a large family bathroom containing bathtub with shower over.

Entertain Outdoors

From the sculpted forms of shrubs and manicured lawns at the front, the gardens wrap around to the rear, where layered planting and mature trees offer shelter, shade, summer colour and a sense of screening from the wider world. In summer, doors open from the kitchen, dining area and sitting room onto the expansive terrace, creating an easy flow for outdoor entertaining. Tucked neatly to one side, a sheltered outdoor bar and barbecue area forms the sociable heart of the garden. Beyond, the lawn stretches towards richly planted borders alive with seasonal colour. Palm trees lend an unexpected tropical flourish, rising above drifts of cottage garden favourites including foxgloves, while ornamental acers, clipped topiary and a vine-clad pergola create a succession of peaceful places to sit with a morning coffee, a good book or a glass of wine as the day draws to a close. Even in inclement weather, the summer house ensures this garden is accessible and enjoyable at all times of year.
