House For Sale £695,000
The Orchard is an exquisite home, for sale only for the second time since 1950. The current owners have much loved, cared for and improved the house over their ownership, both inside and out.
Accessed from Knapp Road, The Warren is a private road situated on the eastern edge of the village with a raised elevation affording stunning views across the town towards the south and south west across to the Severn Vale and Wales beyond.
The gated driveway provides access for plenty of off-street parking, with steps up to The Orchard's front door and into a useful entrance porch with plenty of space for coats and boots.
A glazed door opens into the welcoming entrance hall, with a hard-wearing tiled floor and access to each of the ground floor principal rooms.
Adjacent to the hall is the charming dual aspect sitting room, complete with a wood burning stove and a shallow bay window; taking in all of those glorious views.
At the end of the hall is a lovely open plan kitchen and family room, with a Chinese quartz tiled floor and presenting numerous opportunities such a dining room or snug. French doors open out onto the covered rear courtyard and into the garden beyond.
The kitchen itself is well appointed, with a range of floor and wall-mounted store cupboards, recessed gas hob, electric oven with grill, integrated dishwasher and a useful walk-in larder. Accessed from the kitchen is a fully fitted utility room, which also acts as a separate entrance to the self-contained annexe - perfect for multigenerational family living.
To the other side of the hall lie two double bedrooms, served by a separate fully tiled family bathroom with a three piece suite, and opaque casement window.
Upstairs, the current owners have extended the house to present a hugely versatile master suite - currently configured with a home office, double bedroom, deep recessed wardrobe and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom complete with a corner bath and shower unit.
The Annexe
The annexe presents a huge degree of flexibility; accessed directly from the house is it can be a day-to-day extension of the main home, but could equally serve as a separate home (with its separate access) for a dependent relative, or an occasional guest suite. It is wonderfully proportioned and comprises an open plan kitchen / sitting room and dining room, a double bedroom and a well-appointed separate bathroom.
Outside
The current owners have worked hard to create an immensely useable year-round garden, presenting a number of different ”rooms” each with their own character and use throughout the year.
Immediately accessed from the house is a covered dining terrace to the rear; perfect for al-fresco cooking whatever the weather! More exposed and beautiful in the summer is the raised decked terrace, taking in the sublime views and catching much of the day's sun. From here there is an expanse of lawn - perfect for children and the grandchildren, whilst a level lower is an established range of raised veg-beds and a separate greenhouse.
Most recently, the owners have installed a useful detached home office, providing year-round work from home options in a comfortable cabin, complete with glazed sliding doors.
The parking is exceptional. There is secure, gated driveway parking for half a dozen or so cars, in addition to the circa 440 sq. Ft detached garage and workshop.
