One of just four detached properties built on former orchard land in a prime location just off Regent Street with a double garage, a generous level plot and well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors.
Orchard House is a substantial detached modern house in a quiet position along a private drive just off sought after Regent Street. This location is ideally placed for local shops, amenities and well regarded Wycliffe School, with canal side walks just down the road. The property has been a brilliant family home for the current owner for nearly forty years. They are now downsizing, and so are offering Orchard House to the market. The property was built in 1985 using traditional methods under a pitched tiled roof. It is once of just four properties sited on an old orchard, and accordingly it benefits from a large, level plot.
The spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. A large entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c, 18’ sitting room with fireplace with wood burning stove, conservatory, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility room are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and three further bedrooms on this level. The house is spacious and well proportioned, a would be ideal for either a family or a retiring buyer looking for level access to a good range of shops and amenities.
The interior is complemented by a double garage, a gravelled drive with space to park side by side and a large level rear garden. The garage is in front of the house, to the left, with power, light and an up and over door. There is a gravelled drive to the front, with space to park four cars. A path leads to the front door, with open plan level lawn to either side. The majority of the garden is at the rear of the property. This level, open space is predominately laid to lawn, with a paved seating area directly behind the house. There is a productive growing area to one side, and a potting shed. Mature trees and shrubs are dotted around, and the plot is defined with fencing. The property also owns the area of land to the right of the drive, across from the garage.
