3 bedroom detached house for sale

Orchard House is a part tile-hung rural home, exuding charm, and tradition, offering excellent accommodation and potential for enhancement.

A welcoming open porch leads to a bright and welcoming entrance hall. The sitting room offers warmth and elegance, centred around an open fireplace with ornate bookcases and natural light streaming in from the conservatory. The conservatory, with its southerly aspect and a mature vine providing shade, opens directly to the garden. The formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, is brightened by a lantern roof light and opens onto the terrace. The family kitchen, the heart of the home, features a traditional oil AGA, ample dining space, a neighbouring storeroom or potential pantry, and a utility/boot room with side access. A study at the front of the house provides additional flexibility as a family or playroom. The entrance hall features two discreetly panelled doors. Behind one lies a convenient WC, while the other conveniently opens to an internal corridor that links the home's key living spaces.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a dressing room (previously a fourth bedroom) and an en suite bathroom. Two further double aspect bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.

The property has prior planning permission to reconfigure and extend, adding a further reception room and creating four double bedrooms, including a new principal bedroom.

The property is approached by a gravel driveway with turning circle, providing good parking and access to a detached double garage offering excellent storage and potential.

The south facing garden is a standout feature, with a sun terrace and mature trees and hedges providing privacy.
Blending character with opportunity, Orchard House is a perfect countryside retreat with scope for personalisation and growth.
