This detached family home is positioned within a generous plot in the heart of the village. The house itself is an attractive red brick construction complemented by timber gables, and was built in the 1950s and later extended and improved. The character property has been updated with a number of green energy sources including solar panels and an air source heat pump. Internally it is well presented in an elegant, neutral style, with excellent potential for personalisation and further improvements.

The ground floor is entered via a welcoming reception hallway leading to an open plan kitchen, dining and family room which has windows on three sides. Separately there is sitting room with bay window, a garden room opening to the rear garden and, on the north side of the house, a guest wing featuring a cloakroom, bathroom and guest bedroom, which could have potential as an annexe (subject to permissions). Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Orchard House enjoys a secluded setting in the village of Cookham Dean, amongst the National Trust-protected land of the Cookham Commons, with excellent access to footpaths and open green spaces. The sizeable plot extends to about 1.3 acres and includes mature gardens which extends to a small paddock, currently used for grazing sheep and keeping chickens. The gardens are fantastically private and feature a number of mature trees, providing natural screening from the road, while there are several established flowerbeds and borders as well as a pretty lilypond. To the side of the house there is an elevated terrace and a covered outdoor stainless steel swimming pool with a chlorine-free filtration system.

Access is via a private, gated gravel driveway with space for several cars and there is a detached garage. Further outbuildings include a workshop, summerhouse and a selection of stores.
