Great Orchard House was meticulously designed & built in the 1980’s on a former orchard in the grounds of an impressive period home. An enviable eye for proportionality has created very comfortable spaces throughout the house. This is most evident in the surprising & impressive galleried entrance hall. The ground floor has four receptions, presently used as: dining room, sitting room, study & the conservatory garden room. The kitchen adjoins the lobby leading to the double garage, studio & utility room. Upstairs we have a galleried landing leading to four double bedrooms all with built in cupboard/wardrobes. There are two bathrooms, one is a “jack & jill” ensuite plus main bathroom. Lastly, there is a mezzanine above the galleried hallway. This looks over the picturesque gardens towards the folly; the perfect spot to sit & read in peace! One might look to modernize some parts of the house.
Externally there are attractive gardens to three sides with driveway parking on the fourth side. We find intriguing pathways around the boundary, a broad lawn with water feature, lots of planted beds & borders, potting shed, garden store & of course the enigmatic folly dating from 1745. Reputedly rebuilt in its current spot having been bought, dismantled & relocated by the designer of the house. Great Orchard House is essential village viewing – book now!
