Description

Orchard House is a charming Cotswold stone barn conversion in an attractive setting with three other period houses. The property is situated away from the road and has been finished to a high standard throughout. The formal entrance to the property is through arched elm doors leading to a large hallway. This entrance hall leads to a beautifully decorated, light and spacious sitting/dining room, complete with a wood burning stove, and large windows and French doors opening to the pretty, private garden. A well proportioned cloakroom with storage space leads off the main hallway. Also on the ground floor there is a bespoke well-fitted kitchen, which has a range of floor mounted units, electric cooker and hob, a space for dining and windows with views over the garden and courtyard. The kitchen accesses a useful utility room, with doors to both the garage, and the additional parking area for practical everyday use.

Upstairs there is a well proportioned landing, containing a useful snug area, which could also be used as an office space. Accessed from this hallway are a large, dual-aspect Master bedroom, two further bedrooms, a modern family bathroom, and an airing cupboard with hanging space.

Attached to the property is a substantial double garage with electric doors. It has a large boarded loft above, with substantial space for storage. The garage and loft area also offer potential for conversion to create further accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consent).

Externally, facing West, is a private, well-stocked garden with mature shrubs, a variety of small fruit trees, lawn and a large patio area, perfect for outdoor entertaining. To the East side of Orchard House there is a pretty courtyard setting around a lawn area, and mature shrubs either side of the formal entrance. In addition, the house benefits from ample parking for at least four cars.
