The property is approached via a quiet country path that leads to the welcoming front entrance. Upon entering, you are greeted by a small entrance HALLWAY that acts as the central point from which the main living spaces branch out.

To the right, you will find the inviting KITCHEN/ DINING ROOM, a bright and functional space equipped with a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units. Modern conveniences include an integrated dishwasher, double oven, induction hob, and an overhead extractor fan. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, enhancing the cheerful ambiance. A useful under-stairs storage cupboard is also accessed from the KITCHEN, ideal for keeping household essentials neatly tucked away. A rear door from the kitchen opens into a storage area, which in turn leads to a path accessing the charming rear GARDEN.

On the left-hand side of the entrance HALLWAY is the cosy SITTING ROOM—a generously proportioned space that effortlessly combines comfort with character. Further dual-aspect windows bring in abundant light, and the focal point of the room is a beautiful woodburning stove, making it a perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing in evenings.

Accessed just beyond the SITTING ROOM is the well-appointed ground floor BATHROOM. This stylish suite features a shower cubicle, a separate bathtub, and a heated towel rail. A door leads through to a separate W.C. with an additional wash hand basin, providing both convenience and privacy for guests and family members.

Stairs rise from the HALLWAY to the first floor, where you will find two spacious and light-filled DOUBLE BEDROOMS, both enjoying delightful views through dual-aspect windows. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is particularly generous in size and features a built-in cupboard above the stairs, offering handy storage without compromising space. The SECOND BEDROOM, currently arranged with two single beds, provides a comfortable and inviting guest room or an ideal space for children or visiting family.

Outside
Orchard Cottage enjoys a peaceful and private setting away from the main country lane, accessed via a charming pathway. The rear GARDEN is a true highlight of the property—a tranquil oasis primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, flowering shrubs, and established planting that create a delightful, secluded atmosphere. A garden shed is tucked away in a corner, perfect for storing tools and outdoor equipment.

Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining friends on a summer evening, the garden offers a versatile and relaxing space in which to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds the village.
