The spacious proportions continue upstairs where a landing gives access to three double-sized bedrooms, with two of the rooms boasting access to a south-facing balcony, from which you can relax and admire the garden views. The first floor also benefits from a well-presented shower room in addition to a large family bathroom.
The front garden offers an impressive and welcoming first impression of 44 Orchard Road, and the private, south-facing rear garden has been lovingly nurtured and beautifully established to create a flourishing, colourful outside space which is also a haven for wildlife. Furthermore, the property benefits from a driveway leading to an integral single-sized garage which is currently used as a workshop.
