GUIDE PRICE £1,200,000<br/>Orchard House is an exceptional five-bedroom detached family home, constructed circa 2009 to an impressive specification and subsequently enhanced by the current owners to create a beautifully appointed residence combining modern efficiency with versatile accommodation. <br/><br/>Set behind automatic gates, this substantial home offers an enviable balance of elegant entertaining space, practical family living and high-quality contemporary finishes throughout. A striking vaulted reception hall immediately creates a lasting first impression, featuring a magnificent oak staircase and galleried landing that forms the centrepiece of the home. The accommodation flows effortlessly from the entrance hall into a superb open-plan living environment where a spacious sitting area connects seamlessly with a recently refitted kitchen, creating an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining. <br/><br/>Twin sets of bi-folding doors open directly onto the landscaped rear garden, flooding the interior with natural light and providing an excellent connection between the inside and outside spaces. A thoughtfully designed conservatory extension currently serves as a dining room and further enhances the entertaining potential of the property, offering delightful views across the garden.
