Description
Orchard House is a magnificent detached modern house built in a traditional style by Cala Homes in 1999. The property sits in incredibly private and beautifully landscaped mature amenity grounds of just under 1.5 acres. The house is well presented and beautifully proportioned throughout offering spacious, flexible, comfortable and bright accommodation set over two principal floors. There is a large floored attic above which offers superb storage space as well as further development potential subject to the necessary consents.
The front door opens to an entrance vestibule and on to the generous and welcoming reception hall, from where the principal reception rooms radiate and the impressive timber stair rises to the upper floor. The hall is a particularly bright space, crowned by a wonderful cupola providing light throughout the day. The sitting room is an elegant room with a west facing bay window overlooking the gardens, while double doors open to the formal dining room and on to the generous conservatory with the family room behind. These are superb individual reception rooms that can be opened up to an exceptional entertaining space. The kitchen has been crafted by Clive Christian, and is beautifully appointed. There is plenty of space for informal dining here also, while the useful utility room is situated off here. In addition on the ground floor there is an excellent home office and cloakroom/WC.
On the upper floor, the principal bedroom is particularly fine. Facing west and benefiting from a bay window, there are charming views of the garden and plenty of light. There is a large dressing room and luxurious en suite bath and shower room. There are a further five double bedrooms on this floor, two of which have an en suite shower room, while the others share a large family bath and shower room.
The house is set behind a high stone wall on the road side, with impressive gates opening to the sweeping driveway leading to the front of the house and the detached garage block. There is a triple garage with up and over doors, while timber steps lead up the outside to the first floor, where there is a fabulous games room with an outstanding Clive Christian solid timber bar. This space is ideal for entertaining, but could also be used as a home gym or studio.
The house sits towards the eastern boundary of its plot, enhancing the splendid grounds which are predominantly south and west facing. There are a number of wonderful, mature trees scattered throughout the grounds, providing shelter and privacy, while there is a graveled pathway that leads around the majority of the garden grounds. Set principally to lawn, the grounds sweep around the house and down towards Inveresk Gate, where a range of mature trees and shrubs run along the boundary to enhance the privacy and seclusion. To the rear of the house there is a greenhouse also.
