About this property

  • Located in the heart of the village, in a glorious position set back from the road and with a substantial garden leading down to the river Kennet, this wonderful four-bedroom family home
    offers a rare and exceptional opportunity to enjoy a view for
    all seasons.

    As one of three detached houses completed in 1983, 2 Orchard Green enjoys all the benefits of a spacious modern construction within an uncompromising rural location. There is excellent potential to extend subject to planning.

    On entering the property there is a large hall which leads to all
    the ground floor rooms. There is a dining room, a study, sitting room with a woodburning stove and large glazed sliding doors with a stunning view over the garden, River Kennet and water meadows beyond. An open-plan kitchen also enjoys the south facing garden views and has plenty of room for dining.

    A door leads through a utility room to the south facing conservatory, again with southerly views and the double garage is accessed via a further internally connecting door. Upstairs, three double bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and the principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and wonderful views over the gardens.

    Outside

    Approached via a short private lane owned by the property and set behind a small village green with mature trees, this wonderful home offers ample parking with a large gravel drive in front of the double garage. A pedestrian gate leads around the side of the house, passing a useful lean-to outbuilding with walk-through access, large enough to house a tractor mower, to the main garden and paved terrace. The beautiful garden leading down to the River Kennet is the main attraction of the property, boasting a host of resident waterfowl and wildlife. It is laid mainly to lawn and abounded on each side by high hedgerows and attractive mature trees. The unspoilt views over the river and its rolling wooded backdrop are an extraordinary delight all year round
