Orchard House is an attractive, detached property designed by Cirencester Architects ALP and built in 2002 using Cotswold stone. Generous proportions and sizeable windows allow natural light to enhance the principal reception rooms while the location, tucked away at the end of a gravelled drive, provides an appreciable degree of privacy and tranquility for a property in the heart of the village.

Double doors lead into the entrance hall which is open plan with the spacious dining room. The adjacent Parlour Farm kitchen/breakfast room has durable Corian worktops, an electric Aga (plus auxiliary electric hob and oven), a built in Neff dishwasher and a retro Belling plate warmer incorporated into the island. French doors lead out onto the garden terrace for relaxed al fresco dining. The separate utility room offers plenty of additional cupboards, a Belfast sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads through to a single garage/boiler room which is currently set up for storage.

The drawing room has an open fire place and benefits from high ceilings and double aspect windows with French doors leading out onto the south west facing terrace. The study/library could also be used as a family games room or could provide space for a home office.

Upstairs, two of the first floor bedrooms enjoy particularly fine uninterrupted views extending as far as Wyck Hill (10 miles). The principal bedroom has a dressing room with generous built-in cupboards plus an en suite bathroom. There are three further good sized double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, one with an en suite shower room, the other two sharing a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a private drive with parking for several cars. There is access to the rear garden through a pedestrian gateway, past a timber tool shed and bin store. Privacy in the garden is enhanced by borders of shrubs and perennials which are backed by mature trees and sheltered by close-board fencing together with a mature beech hedge.

A contemporary home that could appeal to all due to the generous proportions, private location, outstanding pastoral views and mature gardens.
