A sensational and very high specification 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi-detached property, being one of just 5 homes in this select village development. The property, which has attractive gardens to the front and rear and also a small area of orchard, enjoys a lovely view to the front, and early viewing is essential.

The Dwelling

This very high-quality, 5-year-old property lies in a select cul-de-sac, enjoying the benefits of a private road of just five properties in this always popular village.

The house, which is constructed of natural ham stone, has feature barn-style doors. The property has wooden double glazing throughout, which is still under warranty. All internal doors are solid oak, heating via an air source heat pump and engineered oak floors to the whole ground floor.

The house benefits from additional insulation, making it very efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective to run.

This is the first home to come to the market in Orchard View since its construction; therefore, we advise an early viewing to avoid disappointment.

A timber entrance door has a feature glazed area with wooden louvre blinds, which flood the house with natural light on entering. This leads to the reception hall, with a staircase rising to the first floor, with a large understairs cupboard with plenty of hanging space for coats and an attractive cloakroom with a white suite.

The sitting room is dual aspect and has bifold doors to the rear opening onto the patio and garden area. A central feature is an attractive wood burner, and an additional window at the front offers a pleasant view overlooking the orchards.

The kitchen/dining/living room is a generous size with a comprehensive range of solid oak worktops with grey doors and stainless-steel door furniture. The fitted appliances include a four-ring hob with splashback and stainless-steel cooker hood, double oven, integrated washer/dryer and dishwasher. There is also an attractive Belfast sink with a mixer tap. A good number of wall cupboards, base units with drawers and cupboards under with an island unit with a breakfast bar. Feature lighting has been added to great effect.

The first floor benefits from taller ceilings and gives the property an elegant and spacious feel.

The landing has a loft hatch to the roof space and a large airing cupboard. The master bedroom is dual aspect and enjoys views over the orchard with a large en-suite shower room with a white suite and double shower cubicle.

There are two further double bedrooms and a stunning bathroom fitted with a white contemporary suite and free-standing slipper bath with pedestal tap and shower attachment.

Outside

To the rear of the property, there are good-sized gardens being laid to lawn, two patio areas, a summerhouse with power opening onto a covered seating area and a barbecue area. There is also a potting shed, well stocked borders, all enclosed by lap panel fencing.

The garden is secure with a side gate which opens onto a footpath allowing access to the side of the property. This also makes a useful area for storage of bins etc.

At the front of the property is parking for two vehicles in the driveway, which leads to a further covered/seating area. A lovely sunny spot to enjoy the view of the protected orchard.

Additional parking is at the front of the property for two further vehicles, exclusive to residents' use only. An additional ‘invisible’ parking space has been created in the far corner of the orchard.

There is a workshop/garage area with light and power connected, and an additional useful utility area with a sink unit with a door opening onto the garden.

This property enjoys the benefit of having an additional area of orchard (only 1 of 3), which is exclusive to this property. When sitting here under the apple trees overlooking a further orchard area, you get a real feeling of peace and tranquillity that only owning your own orchard can bring.

An additional seating area with a fire pit means the view of the famous Burrow Hill can be enjoyed from here. This can also be seen from the back garden.

There is also a super-fast electric vehicle charging point in the garage/store.
