Description
Orchard Cottage is a highly individual Grade II listed period home which features an award-winning and contrasting modern extension to perfectly combine period features with contemporary living arrangements.
Situated in a remarkable location surrounded by farmland, the property makes for an ideal family home or escape to the country for a buyer looking for a lifestyle change and to benefit from the amount of privacy on offer.
With flexible accommodation over two floors the ground level consists of a superb kitchen/dining/family space which makes for the heart of the home and offers a wonderful space for social gatherings. This is complemented via a utility room, pantry and boot room, an absolute essential for country living. This space, having been architect designed is a wonderful addition to the original period structure and transforms its practicality for a modern audience.
Finishing off the ground floor in the original part of the house is a sitting room and snug which both allow the possibilities for differing uses of the spaces such as being ideal as a playroom, office or TV room if desired. A bedroom to the ground floor offers the scope for either an ideal guest bedroom complete with its own en suite or perhaps used for multi-generational living by being combined with the adjoining reception room.
To the first floor are four bedrooms including the principal suite which benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, en suite and balcony which features a stunning, private view overlooking countryside that has a site of special scientific interest status. Facing towards the sunset and being able to take advantage of the wonderful wildlife that roams the setting this is a fantastic and unexpected feature to find. The remaining bedrooms are served via two shower rooms.
Outside
The property sits within a plot of about 2 acres and benefits from off road parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens and grounds provide an excellent lifestyle change and the current vendors have fully grasped the opportunity to create areas of interest and working spaces such as the vegetable gardens, polytunnel and green house as well as characterful orchard consisting of apple, pear quince and plum. Another area provides a more relaxed outdoor setting with a grape vine covered pergola and terrace being well placed for socialising in the gardens.
Location
Orchard Cottage is approached via a lengthy farm track which meanders through the countryside and then ends at the property. This approach lends a huge element of privacy and simply must be viewed to fully appreciate the remarkable position.
Approximately four miles to the west is Long Stratton, which has a good range of everyday amenities. The popular market town of Wymondham is about seven miles and has a wider range of amenities including a Waitrose supermarket and train station with links to Cambridge. Norwich, the cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, is 12 miles to the north and has a thriving retail and business centre with many cultural and leisure facilities to suit most tastes, university, renowned schools and an airport with expanding domestic flights to most international destinations via Schiphol. There is a mainline rail link to London Liverpool Street with journey times of about 1 hour and 50 minutes. There is also a direct rail link to London from Diss (eleven miles) which runs to London Liverpool Street.
