Coming to the market for the first time in over 28 years, Orchard House is an attractive unlisted family home, which has been extended over the years and together with a separate single storey one bedroom cottage they occupy a lovely setting with attractive gardens and grounds of about 6.4 acres. The property lies off a country lane, about a mile away from the popular village of Horsmonden and 4.6 miles to the south east of Paddock Wood station with frequent services to London and Ashford.

The main house benefits from three very well proportioned reception rooms, two of which feature open fireplaces. They include an attractive dual aspect sitting room with sun room off, an interconnecting, beamed dining room which is situated in the oldest part of the house and an excellent family/breakfast room, which is open to the kitchen and has sliding doors that lead to the gardens.

The kitchen is equipped with a good range of cupboards, with corian worksurfaces. Miele appliances include a wall mounted oven, warming drawer and a semi integrated dishwasher with space for further appliances. A utility room, with quarry tiled flooring, houses a water softener and has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and there is also a wet room/WC and a second WC.

Over the first floor are six bedrooms, all of which have fitted cupboards, together with two bath/shower rooms, one being en suite to the principal bedroom, which features attractive reclaimed beams. Access to the boarded loft can be gained via a retractable ladder from the landing.

Orchard House is approached via an electric gate and sloping drive, flanked by lovely gardens and leading to a generous parking area and the detached garaging for two cars with electric up and over door. Further outbuildings include a row of pretty rose and clematis clad store rooms/workshops and a substantial oak framed, open bay barn with cedar shingle roof, perfect for livestock or machinery storage.

The gardens and grounds surround the house and are a delightful feature with expanses of lawn, well established borders, varieties of seasonal shrubs, bulbs, roses, mature trees and a pretty stream. To the north of the gardens there are three enclosed fields, two with field shelters and all having water connected. To the south, a well established evergreen hedge screens the house and garden from two further enclosed fields.

At the top of the drive sits the versatile detached cottage, with its own private terrace and garden. Internally, it features a lovely vaulted sitting/dining room with glazed doors, a fitted kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom with under floor heating.
