THE PROPERTY
Dating back to 1530, Old Orchard has a particularly handsome facade with ham stone mullion windows set within flintstone elevations all under a recently thatched roof. With an L-shaped footprint, the accommodation is well decorated in harmony with the fine period features and provides excellent living and entertaining space. The classic panelled cross passage links the front and rear of the house, leading to a dining room with a white lias floor and panelled walls, and large inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. The drawing room is charming with large open stone fireplace, window looking across the gardens and more panelling. The family kitchen has been well designed, has an oil fired Rayburn, a chequered terracotta and timber floor and a range of hand painted cabinets. There is an offset larder and ample room for a dining table. Across the hall, a well fitted library with bookshelves also has a door with window looking across the gardens and door through to a study. An open staircase leads out of the dining room up to the light high ceiled landing, which stretches across the length of the house leading to all the bedrooms. The principal bedroom, with 16th century fireplace and both east and south facing windows and has an en suite bathroom and dressing room with a large window seat, a freestanding roll top bath and double hand basins set into a marble top on a wash stand with mirror behind. There are ample cupboarding. Three further bedrooms are all of good size with their own character, built in cupboards and served by a family bathroom and a separate wc. Tax Band - G
