Description
Little Orchard is a beautifully presented family home of great character, ideally located in a quiet residential lane. Built originally in about 1929, the house has been sympathetically extended and now offers a wonderful blend of traditional and modern styling with features including period doors, fireplaces and leaded light windows. The accommodation enjoys generous living accommodation with four good sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. It also benefits from a large mature garden, an integral garage and ample driveway parking.
An attractive entrance porch with a quarry tiled floor leads into a welcoming reception hall with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is spacious with front and rear aspects and French doors opening on to the rear terrace. A focal point is the striking wood burning stove with a tall canopy and hearth. The dining room lies to the front of the house with a decorative tiled fireplace and a large box bay window and a lovely window seat. The hub of the house is the open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room perfectly designed for family life. The kitchen itself is well appointed with a comprehensive range of units with granite worktops and space for a range cooker with an extractor over. A practical island unit gives further storage and worktop space. French doors open from the kitchen on to the terrace and there is plenty of space for a dining or sitting area. The kitchen leads into the family room with French doors and lovely garden views and a roof lantern floods the room with natural light. A utility room lies off the family room which is well appointed with wall and floor units with space for appliances together with an ingenious laundry chute from the first floor landing. A boot room with door access to the garage and side of the house completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
Stairs lead to the first floor with a large window with a built in window seat on the half landing. The dual aspect principal bedroom enjoys front and side aspects with an en suite bathroom and dressing room. A guest bedroom with an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobe also benefits from access to a roof terrace giving wonderful garden views. There are two further bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, served by a well appointed family bathroom, with a traditional style freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.
Outside
The property has a gated carriage driveway with ample parking and an integral garage. The frontage has an area of lawn and is enclosed with fencing and hedging. The large rear garden is a delight with well stocked beds and borders and is predominately lawned with a variety of mature trees and a garden path to the side. Adjoining the rear of the house is a terrace leading to a raised decking area giving several areas for relaxing and outside entertaining. To the rear of the garden is a further patio area and the garden is bounded by fencing, mature shrubs and trees.
