    About this property

    • This attractive Cotswold stone house has a characterful appearance but was built in 2002, affording a solid, modern construction. The house is set amongst beautiful gardens bordering stunning countryside, over which there are magnificent views, with a different view from virtually every window. There are only a handful of houses on this small, rural hamlet, and the feeling is very private. Internally the accommodation is presented to a high standard and features large, well-lit rooms with a bright and spacious feel throughout.

      The entrance hall, with its bespoke hand-crafted staircase, provides an inviting first impression, leading to an expansive reception room with patio doors opening to the rear garden and a newly installed wood-burning stove, with an adjoining conservatory providing extra space for entertaining. There's also a separate formal dining room and a study creating good versatility on the ground floor, though the heart of the family home is certainly the open plan kitchen and dining room, which features bespoke cabinetry, marble work surfaces, a large kitchen island and premium integrated appliances as well as an AGA. A utility room connected the kitchen to the garage via an internal door, and there's a cloakroom with WC completing the ground floor. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, comprising a principal suite with dressing area and en suite shower room, two further en suite bedrooms and a bedroom and family bathroom. The layout and size of the house lends itself well to families, though it is also well suited to professional couples and downsizers, with ample space for entertaining.

      Outside
      Orchard House is quietly and privately situated at the end of a private road, with access from the Bibury/Burford road. The house is set within beautifully landscaped, mature gardens which amount to about three quarters of an acre, comprising level lawns, a natural boundary of well-established trees and shrubs, with the garden to the rear of the house being particularly secluded. Here, a sizeable terrace wraps around two sides of the house and the conservatory, creating a fabulous space for outdoor dining with views over the abundant greenery. A separate terrace to the side of the house supports a large glazed greenhouse and a garden shed. To the front there is access to an attached double garage and ample parking on a gravel driveway.

    Additional information

    • Mains water and electricity. Oil-fired central heating. Private drainage via septic tank. We are uncertain whether this meets the general binding rules and a survey should be arranged to find out if it is compliant.
    • Directions: From Cirencester, head east out of town on the Bibury/Burford Road, cross over the A417 via the two large roundabouts and at the traffic lights continue straight on via the B4425. After about 0.3 miles, after passing the turning to the Organic Farm Shop on the opposite side of the road, turn left onto a private road where the house will be the final property on the left.
