Amidst a patchwork of fields, with countryside walks on the doorstep, yet in easy reach of shops, schools and city links, discover spacious family living, at Orchard House. Countryside convenience Built in 1997 before being extended in 2016, Orchard House, set back from Wantage Road, is a home that has kept pace with changing times, with remodelling work completed to open the home up for modern family living, and its windows replaced and Fensa certified in 2016. Pull onto the gated driveway, where plenty of parking is available alongside an integral garage with EVC point, before making your way in to the entrance hall. Broad and bright, with the staircase moved by the current owners, the entrance hall serves as a spacious central hub, with reception rooms radiating off in different directions. Welcome home Tiled in a gleaming soft grey underfoot, and warmed by underfloor heating, which runs throughout the majority of the ground floor, from the entrance hall, step through to the right, beneath the oak stairs and into an inner hallway leading to the home office, brimming with built-in storage and desk space. A private space tucked away from the main flow of the home, this room is ideal for those working from home. This inner hallway leads through into a lobby, providing access into a shower room and the integral garage, currently serving as a utility area with a sink, plumbing for washing machine and additional storage. Stairs lead up to reveal even more storage above. Consider the potential to create a self-contained annexe area along this section of the home, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Returning to the entrance hall, dressed in serene shades of deep forest green, across the way lies a ground floor bedroom cosily carpeted and conveniently served by a handy Jack ‘n’ Jill shower room; accessible for older relatives or guests. Feast your eyes Directly ahead from the entrance hall, step through into the sumptuously sized, Second Nature kitchen, where quartz worktops gleam beneath the spotlighting overhead.  Views immediately entreat out over the large patio terrace and landscaped lawn through bifolding doors from the breakfasting area to the rear; the perfect place for every day dining, bathed in light from the roof lantern above. Comprehensively equipped with an abundance of storage drawers and cabinets, cook up a feast for family and friends, utilising the array of fitted appliances including a bank of Neff ovens with microwave, steam oven and warming drawers, alongside an undercounter fridge, and boiling tap. Two dishwashers ensure that the clean-up is a seamless, stress-free affair. Tucked off the kitchen, the walk-in pantry provides even more storage. Entertaining haven A sociable home, simply designed for entertaining, the fantastic flow of Orchard House puts the large, open plan living-dining room at the heart of the home; accessible off both the kitchen and main entrance hall. Warmth emanates from the stylish double-sided stove, serving both kitchen-breakfast room and dining-living room. Beside the double-sided fire there is built-in storage for logs. A bountiful, light-filled room, where a cosy sitting area for relaxation and after dinner drinks flows seamlessly through to the main dining area, where there is abundant space to gather twenty or so around a long dining table. Perfect for special occasions and celebrations, the dining-living room opens up to the patio via bifolding doors, where the fun can continue alfresco throughout the summer months. Fitted cabinetry provides storage for all your serving essentials and utensils. Ascend the handsome oak staircase to the first-floor landing, recently redecorated and brimming with light. Turning left, sleep awaits in the guest bedroom overlooking the trees and fields to the front. Freshly decorated in soothing neutrals this is a comfortable and bright double. Practical places Next door, discover the laundry room on the left, practically positioned amidst the bedrooms and furnished with plenty of storage, alongside plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and with ample room for an ironing board. Across the landing to the right of the stairs is a second double bedroom, where an abundance of light streams in through the high roof lantern and window to the front. Refresh and revive in the family bathroom, where large grey tiles lie underfoot and textured tiling to the same tone adorns the walls. Soak away the aches in the large bathtub or freshen up beneath the rainfall head of the separate shower. There is also a vanity unit wash basin and WC. Another spacious double bedroom awaits next door, carpeted in light grey and with ample space for wardrobes. Sleep soundly in the principal suite next door, where panelling in a deep blue creates a feature wall to the rear. Capaciously sized to accommodate a super king size bed, and offering verdant views out over the garden at the rear, a dressing area provides plenty of storage for all your season’s attire. Soothe your senses in the ensuite, where LED uplighting illuminates the freestanding tub, raised on a plinth and drenched in natural light. Twin wash basins feature vanity unit storage, with a separate shower, heated towel radiator and WC also available. Ascend the stairs to the second-floor landing, where ample space for visiting relatives can be found in the spacious guest suite, served by fitted storage and its own private shower room ensuite. Alfresco dining Designed for you to relax and unwind…and celebrate, the gloriously landscaped garden at Orchard House serves as a seamless extension to the entertaining space within. Extending to around a quarter of an acre, the manicured lawn offers space for children and pets to scamper about, with an area to the rear ideal for growing your own, served by a greenhouse, hen house and vegetable patch. Directly outside the kitchen and dining room, bifolding doors open to connect effortlessly with the broad and sunny patio terrace and handsome, brick-built outdoor kitchen, served by worktops, cupboards, sink with running water and built-in barbecue. Views unfurl out to the rear over a beautiful orchard, for a serene sense of being in the heart of nature. Out and about Nestled amidst classic Oxfordshire countryside, there are several walks to be enjoyed directly out from the rear of the home, with several footpaths through the fields and leading to nearby villages. You can even access the Ridgeway National Trail, one of the oldest roads in Britain, offering stunning views through the rolling hills of Oxfordshire from Orchard House. Families are well placed, close to a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, with The Hendreds Primary School and Harwell Primary School both within a short drive.
