Dating back to the late 18th century, with later Victorian enhancements, this distinctive four-bedroom detached residence is rich in history and charm. Nestled within grounds approaching two acres, the property is surrounded by sweeping lawns, mature planting, and a variety of useful outbuildings.

A wide terrace at the rear enjoys tranquil views across an ornamental lily pond, while secure wrought-iron gates open to a carriage driveway and covered carport, ensuring ample parking. Offering approximately 4,397 sq. ft. of flexible living space, “Orchardene” is perfectly suited to a large or growing family and benefits from additional external accommodation including a dedicated home office, a separate games room ideal as an annex, plus a barn with adjoining storage areas. Situated on Frog Street, the home enjoys a peaceful, tucked-away position on the edge of Kelvedon Hatch village, with Brentwood and Shenfield town centres only around five miles away, offering both shopping and mainline rail connections to London.

Inside, the ground floor combines character features with spacious living areas. The main sitting room boasts tiled flooring, windows to front and rear, original exposed beams, brickwork, and a striking open fireplace. Designed with a semi-open plan layout, the space cleverly separates areas for dining and relaxing. From here, a wide staircase rises to the first floor, while additional doors lead to a ground-floor shower room and a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite complete with freestanding roll-top bath. On the opposite side of the house lies a bespoke Clive Christian kitchen with marble flooring and work surfaces, centred around a large island unit with inset sink and seating. Premium appliances include a Wolf range cooker and a double Sub-Zero fridge/freezer. This stylish kitchen opens onto a dining room, from which a second staircase leads upstairs.
