On the ground floor are two well-proportioned reception rooms connected by folding double doors to create a single, enlarged space when required. Both rooms have excellent ceiling heights, fireplaces, coving and tall sash windows that look out across the garden. The pre-existing conservatory has been retrofitted with a solid roof to create an orangery that is now useable all the year round. The kitchen/breakfast room has a fireplace with a wood-burning stove and is fully fitted with a range of units including a central island, white granite work surfaces and a range of electrical appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen are the boot room, large laundry room and the pantry. On the first floor is a split-level, part-galleried landing off which are two double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom (which currently serves as an office) and the family bathroom. In the roof space is a large storage room which has enormous potential subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
The house is approached via a short gravelled drive leading to parking areas in front of and beside the house. The formal garden extends around three sides of the house with extensive lawns fringed by flowering shrub borders and decorated with a scattering of mature trees including fruit trees, beech, oak, copper beech and a fine redwood. Behind the house is a paved terrace with a gardener's WC and covered verandah on one side and beyond it is the former Coach House which has been converted to provide a double garage with incorporated machinery store on one side of the ground and the gym/games room on the other. Between them are the entrance hall and staircase leading to the self-contained first floor apartment (Orchard Cottage) which currently provides a holiday-let income. It comprises two double bedrooms each with an en suite shower room and the large living room incorporating a fully fitted kitchen. The apartment also has a first floor balcony with a steel and glass staircase leading down to a private paved terrace beside the greenhouse. At the far end of the garden is the paddock which has a field shelter and separate vehicular access. In all about 2.25 acres (0.91 hectare).

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
