As you step through the solid front door, you're immediately welcomed by a spacious, double-height entrance hallway with exposed brickwork and large feature windows that fill the space with natural light. The beautiful wooden staircase rises gracefully to the first floor, setting the tone for the character and warmth this home exudes. There's room here for occasional furniture or a welcoming bench, and the exposed beams lend a rustic yet refined feel.

To the rear of the hallway, a pair of glazed double doors open into a large, inviting living room. This is a beautifully proportioned space with windows that frame views of the surrounding greenery, allowing light to stream in throughout the day. The focal point of the room is a charming brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy winter evenings. There’s ample space for multiple sofas and occasional pieces, creating an elegant yet relaxed family zone for entertaining or unwinding in front of the fire. Doors lead to the garden.

Flowing into the kitchen/diner, this room is perfectly arranged to allow the cook to remain part of family life or social gatherings. Featuring traditional cabinetry in a warm wood finish, there’s extensive worktop space, integrated appliances, and two large windows above the sink that frame idyllic views while you cook. A thoughtful layout keeps everything within easy reach while maintaining a sense of openness. The dining section is generous and flexible, easily accommodating an 8-10 seater table and chairs for family meals or special occasions. This room has characterful slate flooring that adds both visual texture and practicality.

Next to the study and tucked cleverly under the stairs is a sizeable ground floor cloakroom, which includes a toilet, wash basin, and useful extra storage. It's much more generous than a typical downstairs WC and could potentially house a shower or utility area with minimal alterations.

The staircase from the entrance hall leads up to a spacious landing that branches off to the three main bedrooms and family bathroom.

Another very large double, bedroom two rivals the main bedroom in size and charm. With two windows bringing in green leafy views, this room is bathed in light throughout the day and offers ample space for a range of furniture, ideal for guests, older children, or as a luxurious secondary suite.

Positioned at the front of the property, bedroom three is a bright and versatile single bedroom, ideal for a child’s room, guest space, or home office.

Light-filled and adaptable, it’s perfect for growing families or flexible living.

The central family bathroom is practical and well-sized, serving all three bedrooms with ease. It includes a full-sized bath with shower over, WC, and pedestal sink. A large frosted window ensures it’s bright and ventilated, while wood panelling and natural décor lend a classic country look.

In addition to the main residence, this unique offering includes a charming detached one-bedroom cottage, also named Orchard Cottage. Perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental income, the cottage features its own entrance and a well-planned layout comprising a fitted kitchen, a comfortable living room, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. This self-contained space offers privacy, independence, and flexibility in a beautiful garden setting.

Stepping into the living room of Orchard Cottage, you’re met with a bright, welcoming space full of character. Timber floors, soft neutral tones, and a flexible layout offer room for both a lounge area and dining table. A staircase leads to the first floor, while a large front-facing window ensures natural light fills the space. It’s comfortable, homely, and feels completely separate from the main house—offering privacy and independence.

The kitchen is well-fitted with cream shaker-style units, tiled splashbacks, and space for a washing machine. With dual-aspect windows looking out to the gardens, the space feels bright and practical. Terracotta-style floor tiles complement the rustic charm, and there's plenty of cupboard and worktop space for everyday living.

Also to the ground floor, a charming bathroom with a traditional look, featuring a panelled bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin. Wooden panelling and tiled accents bring a rustic cottage feel, while the room is spacious enough to move comfortably.

Upstairs, the cottage reveals a wonderfully spacious double bedroom with angled ceilings, exposed timber beam, and two windows bringing in light from both sides. There's ample space for wardrobes, a dresser, and seating, making it feel more like a suite than just a bedroom. The polished wooden floor and calm décor create a relaxing, private atmosphere, ideal for long stays or independent living.

This detached cottage is a rare and highly valuable addition to the property, providing versatile extra accommodation that feels wholly self-sufficient while still being just a few steps from the main house. Whether you're housing extended family, welcoming guests, or exploring rental options, this characterful annex is a genuine asset.

Outside- The grounds of Orchard Cottage are a true highlight, immaculately landscaped and beautifully curated to maximise the potential of its generous plot, which extends to over a third of an acre. To the rear, the garden unfolds into a stunning, private oasis bordered by mature trees and vibrant planting, offering year-round interest and complete seclusion. Expansive terraces create multiple seating areas, perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding in the sun, including a formal dining space and a separate gravelled lounge zone that invites relaxation. Lush lawns transition seamlessly into more structured planting beds, where meandering pathways and colourful borders introduce a sense of journey and tranquillity throughout. A particular feature of the garden is the detached stone outbuilding, full of charm and flexibility, ideal for use as a workshop, home office, creative studio, or even a garden bar for hosting summer gatherings.
