3 Orchard View is a beautifully appointed, high-specification three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached home, forming part of an exclusive development of just five properties.
Constructed approximately five years ago, the property occupies a peaceful position within a quiet cul-de-sac, approached via a private no-through road. The house enjoys attractive gardens to both the front and rear, together with a small area of orchard and lovely views across the surrounding countryside to the front.
Constructed from natural Hamstone and complemented by attractive barn-style doors, the property combines traditional local character with contemporary energy-efficient living. Wooden double-glazed windows are fitted throughout and remain under warranty, while solid oak internal doors and engineered oak flooring to the ground floor further demonstrate the quality of the specification.
Heating is provided by an air source heat pump, with additional insulation throughout helping to make the home highly energy efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective to run.
This is the first property to come to the market within Orchard View since the development was constructed, making this a rare and exciting opportunity.
Early viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
Accommodation - A timber entrance door has a feature glazed area with wooden louvre blinds, which flood the house with natural light on entering. This leads to the reception hall, with a staircase rising to the first floor, with a large understairs cupboard with plenty of hanging space for coats and an attractive cloakroom with a white suite.
The Sitting Room is dual aspect and has bifold doors to the rear opening onto the patio and garden area. A central feature is an attractive wood burner, and an additional window at the front offers a pleasant view overlooking the orchards.
The Kitchen/Dining/Living room is a generous size with a comprehensive range of solid oak worktops with grey doors and stainless-steel door furniture. The fitted appliances include a four-ring hob with splashback and stainless-steel cooker hood, double oven, integrated washer/dryer and dishwasher. There is also an attractive Belfast sink with a mixer tap. A good number of wall cupboards, base units with drawers and cupboards under with an island unit with a breakfast bar. Feature lighting has been added to great effect.
The landing has a loft hatch to the roof space and a large airing cupboard. The master bedroom is dual aspect and enjoys views over the orchard with a large en-suite shower room with a white suite and double shower cubicle.
The first floor benefits from taller ceilings and gives the property an elegant and spacious feel.
There are two further double bedrooms and a stunning bathroom fitted with a white contemporary suite and free-standing slipper bath with pedestal tap and shower attachment.
Outside - To the rear of the property, there are good-sized gardens being laid to lawn, two patio areas, a summerhouse with power opening onto a covered seating area and a barbecue area. There is also a potting shed, well stocked borders, all enclosed by lap panel fencing.
The garden is secure with a side gate which opens onto a footpath allowing access to the side of the property. This also makes a useful area for storage of bins etc.
At the front of the property is driveway parking, which leads to a further covered/seating area. A lovely sunny spot to enjoy the view of the protected Orchard.
There is a workshop/garage area with light and power connected, and an additional useful utility area with a sink unit with a door opening onto the garden.
This property enjoys the benefit of having an additional area of Orchard (only 1 of 3), which is exclusive to this property. When sitting here under the apple trees overlooking the well-established Orchard, you get a real feeling of peace and tranquillity that only owning your own Orchard can bring.
An additional seating area with a fire pit means the view of the famous Burrow Hill can be enjoyed from here. This can also be seen from the rear garden.
There is also a super-fast electric vehicle charging point in the garage/store.
