A spacious and versatile home with up to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, studio & garden office, enjoying lovely grounds of 0.37 acre, on the edge of this desirable village.

This great home offers living accommodation of surprising proportions and versatility. The property was built as a bungalow and as such, offers comfortable ground floor living, with three bedrooms. However, in recent years, two further bedrooms, along with a luxurious en suite bathroom, were added to the first floor. At the same time, the bungalow was extended to the rear, creating a substantial live-in kitchen and summer room. This stylish and versatile home now offers superb living space for a single family, or perhaps multi-generational occupancy. When coupled with the substantial plot, the studio and garden office, 8 Orchard Lane is a wonderful opportunity for those wishing to work from home, or simply needing hobby space.

The front door opens to an attractive hall for receiving guests. The sitting room is to the front and has wood burning stove fitted to one wall, along with some bespoke cabinetry. A door leads through to the study, which offers workspace for at least two people. Across the hall is the snug, which has served as a 5th bedroom, in the past. It has a door opening to the garden. The dining room is a great size for formal occasions, and is open to the live-in kitchen, to create a feeling of space, light and inclusivity.

The kitchen is simply superb for today’s way of life, with ample space for cooking, family mealtimes and relaxation. The room is wonderfully light and airy with a full height pitched ceiling, skylights and glazed doors opening to the deck. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units with granite worksurfaces and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include two electric ovens and a hob with extractor above. There is also a dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A door leads through to the Breckenridge summer room. This is a double-glazed addition to the property, with views and access to the courtyard.

The utility room is a great size for family clobber, appliances and pets. Ample storage, work-surfaces and a sink are built-in. A door leads to the outside.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor. The main bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with windows to the south and east. A door leads into the well-appointed en suite shower room. The third bedroom is also on the ground floor and has use of a full bathroom across the hall.

The first floor is reached via stairs from the dining room. The entire floor could serve as a principal suite, with a double bedroom, luxurious en suite bathroom and, across the landing, a superbly fitted dressing room, which is could also be the fourth bedroom.

The bungalow sits back from Orchard Lane in a slightly elevated position, which affords a lovely view to the fields from the lawned front garden. The tarmac drive runs past the bungalow and beyond the decked courtyard, up to the former garage. This has been converted to a workshop and studio and has windows and a glazed door in place of the vehicle access door. Conversion back to a garage will be a simple task. The main garden area is beyond the ornamental pond, beside which stands a modern, garden office from Dunster House, which has a view over the lawn and orchard, beyond which is the kitchen garden. The plot extends to approximately 0.37 acre.
