About this property

  • Far-Reaching Countryside Views

  • Tucked Away From Traffic

  • Scope To Extend

An exceptional fourbedroom detached house enjoying a delightful position with wonderful farreaching countryside views and tucked away from passing traffic. Beautifully presented and tastefully improved with garage, driveway parking and secure rear garden.

Orchard Way is a well-proportioned home built in the 1980’s of reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled roof. The property offers generous, well-planned accommodation arranged over two floors, creating a most appealing and practical family home.
Upon entering through the large enclosed porch, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with modern wood-effect flooring. To the left is a useful downstairs cloakroom, while to the right a light and airy dual-aspect sitting room provides an inviting reception space. A contemporary wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point, and a wide front window frames open rural views.
The sitting room flows naturally into the dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and features fitted shelving. A doorway leads into the well-appointed kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of units including an eye-level double oven and inset electric hob. From here, a door opens into the generous conservatory, a versatile additional living space with direct access to both the double garage and the paved patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around a central landing. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which enjoy superb countryside views. The beautifully finished family bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, serving all bedrooms comfortably. Subject to necessary permission, there is also a good opportunity to extend the property above the garage.
