Description
A delightful Grade II listed period cottage with a excellent reception space and plenty of character features throughout.
The Dwelling - Old Orchard has a welcoming feel from the moment you enter. Two large reception rooms give the house gravitas and access to the kitchen is accessed from both conservatory and the sitting room too. The house offers flexible living with shower rooms on both floors. There is an intriguing loft room with access from the principal bedroom only via a built staircase.
Whilst being Grade II listed, the house has been extended in years gone by, the latest being the heritage style conservatory which adds to the charm and history on offer. The garden is a wonderful backdrop to it all. In recent months, a new fence has been erected to enclose the garden fully.
