The Grounds and Gardens:
With surrounding countryside ensconcing the plot, the main entrance into the property is via gates and a long sweeping driveway. The gardens of Orchard House are exceptional, providing a colourful, private setting, beautifully planted and planned. Extending to over 4 acres, the grounds are a beautiful backdrop for a house of this grandeur and era. Accessed from gates off Drury Lane, opening to a lovely driveway that gently meanders up towards the house, between the grounds providing a scenic entry. The house sits at the tip of the plot in a slightly elevated position, designed to overlook the immaculate lawns and with a wooded setting at the side and rear. In Spring months, the house is covered in Wisteria softening the mellow red Georgian brick.
The Location:
Orchard House is positioned within the attractive and historic village of Redmarley, an area noted for its idyllic walking and riding countryside on the Worcestershire/Herefordshire borders. Whilst rural, the village is ideally located for easy access to the centres of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Ledbury, and Tewkesbury.

The well reputed Kings School is circa 11 miles away, and in Cheltenham, just 17 miles, are world-renowned schools, Cheltenham Ladies' College, Cheltenham College and Dean Close.
For the commuter, the M50 gives fast access eastbound to the M5 and westbound to Monmouthshire and the Welsh borders. The A417, offers access to Gloucester, Cirencester and then joins the A419 onto the M4.
