5 bedroom detached house for sale

Orchard House is an outstanding contemporary residence, built to exacting standards in 2010 under the supervision of an architect. Set within private, level gardens and extending to over 4,200 sq ft, the property offers a thoughtfully designed layout over two floors, ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

The impressive double-height reception hall sets the tone, with a striking wall of glass flooding the space with natural light and leading to a galleried landing above a stunning architectural feature. A full-height front window continues up to the first floor, offering a real sense of space and light the moment you enter.

Throughout the ground floor, beautiful porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating creates warmth and style, while a high-spec integral speaker system enhances the atmosphere across multiple rooms. A dedicated communications cupboard houses the automated speaker controls, and a telephone/video intercom system connects to the electric gated entrance, adding a layer of convenience and security.

The heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen/dining room, designed for both functionality and wow factor. It features an extensive range of high-gloss cream cabinetry, solid granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar and 'pop up' extractor fan adjacent to the induction hob, and porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating. For family convenience the sink has a cooker' instant boiled water tap and an 'insinkerator'. French doors open directly onto the gardens, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

From the dining area, double doors lead into the spacious triple-aspect sitting room, complete with a feature wall-mounted gas fire. The ground floor also includes a cinema room, study, utility room, and a cloakroom/WC, offering flexibility and ample space for work, leisure, and practical living.

Upstairs, five luxury en suite bedrooms await, all generously proportioned and finished with high-quality white suites, chrome fittings, towel rails, and a pressurised hot water system.
The master suite is a true retreat, offering sea views, a dressing area, and a four-piece en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two, positioned above the garage, is a standout feature with its dramatic glass gable, perfect as a guest suite. Three of the bedrooms benefit from sea and open views across Tor Bay.

Externally, Orchard House continues to impress. A wide, brick-paved driveway provides ample parking behind automated gates, leading to a large integral double garage with electric up-and-over door. The level gardens, laid mostly to lawn, are designed for ease of maintenance and provide a high degree of privacy and security, bordered by close-board fencing.

Situated on the edge of the Shorton Conservation Area in Preston, the property enjoys a peaceful residential setting with easy access to local amenities, shops, and schools. The location offers excellent connectivity, with the nearby ring road linking Torquay, Newton Abbot, and Exeter, while Newton Abbot provides mainline rail connections to London Paddington. Paignton itself, nestled between Torquay and Brixham in the heart of Tor Bay, is part of the stunning English Riviera, renowned for its beautiful beaches and sheltered waters.
