Description
This charming period house is believed to date back to the 18th century, possibly earlier, likely built as part of the adjoining Orchard House estate. Constructed of stone and extended over the subsequent centuries, behind its deceptively modest frontage the house offers a substantial living space and a wealth of character features with exposed timbers and fireplaces throughout, on a plot approaching a quarter of an acre including an expansive rear garden. There is no ongoing chain.
The entrance lobby opens up to an impressive full-height dining hall with wooden flooring and fireplace. A sitting room, with a log burner by the home's original bread oven, and a drawing room with a further fireplace complete the principal reception rooms. The dining hall also leads to a large kitchen with breakfast area and larder, with a utility and downstairs WC beyond.
On the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms - all doubles, one with an ensuite shower room, as well as a family bathroom.
The property benefits from a number of adjoining outbuildings that provide excellent potential for additional accommodation, annexe, home office or stabling. There is also a garage with gated access from the adjoining lane and additional hard standing.
A sheltered, stone-paved patio area outside the kitchen leads to a mature and private rear garden c. 100' x 60' max, with lawn, flower beds and vegetable plot.
