Orchard Lee and Orchard Lee Cottage have origins dating back to 1737 and have, over the years been updated, extended and improved, whilst still retaining some character features. This delightful character property is tucked away just off the heart of the village centre on Rosemary Lane. The property comprises a sizeable three-bedroom main house with an attached good-sized two-bedroom annexe. From the property’s elevated location, superb far reaching 180-degree countryside views can be enjoyed taking in the valley looking towards Seaton and beyond as well as Whitford, towards Stockland in the distance. The property has extremely flexible accommodation and the current owner had plans to create a very large kitchen/dining room by altering the current configuration of the dining room and kitchen which can be seen if required. This charming property sits squarely amongst its plot which enjoys a lovely, landscaped garden to the front and pretty, enclosed gardens to the rear. The annexe could easily be kept entirely private from the main cottage by dividing the garden to the rear and is currently used for a dependent relative. Alternatively, the cottage could be let for holidays or on a long term let, and therefore, has potential for good income. A particular feature of the main house is a large extension to the rear, which provides a most impressive garden room - perfect for entertaining or as a family room. Both properties benefit from full gas fired central heating and double glazing and must be viewed internally to appreciate the bright internal accommodation and views enjoyed from the rooms to the rear.
Orchard Lee: An external porch opens to an inner hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors lead off to the left to the living room with woodburning stove, attractive shelved alcove and double doors open to the garden room. The garden room has windows and doors across the length and one side of the room which affords lovely views over the garden and countryside in the distance. A further set of double doors links this room to the formal dining room with alcove, and engineered oak flooring. Wood and wood effect flooring then flows through the hall and these three reception rooms. The kitchen has a window seat to the front and a large, tiled alcove with beam over suitable for a range style cooker. There is a good range of cream matching base and wall units, double sink and space for several under unit appliances. A door from the kitchen gives internal access to the annexe. An open arch directly leads to the utility from the kitchen with further matching units with deep butler sink, space and plumbing for further appliances and space for an upright fridge/freezer. A door opens from here to a large walk-in pantry with shelving and light. A glazed door opens to a boiler/boot room with wall mounted gas central heating boiler, worktop with storage beneath and a door to the outside. From here is also access to a shower Room and WC. The landing has doors leading to all rooms on the first floor with window to rear and double airing cupboard with slatted shelves which houses the hot water cylinder. All three bedrooms are good sized doubles with both the Master Bedroom and Bedroom 2, being double aspect and enjoying the lovely far reaching countryside views. There is also a study with cupboard and view over the front garden and a separate family bathroom with white suite.
Orchard Lee Cottage (Annexe): A front stable door opens to a hallway with door to WC and further door to a dining room with access to the living room and door arch to the kitchen. There is a pretty cottage style kitchen with cream shaker style kitchen units, butler style sink and wooden worktops, space for cooker and space and plumbing for washing machine. A stable door opens to the front with porch above and small opening hatch to the living room. A door from the dining room opens to the living room which has a range of fitted bookshelves along one wall and double French doors open to the rear garden with views to countryside in the distance. The first-floor landing gives access to the bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms are large doubles with the master bedroom being particularly spacious, with four built-in wardrobes running the width of the room and two windows to the rear enjoying the fabulous views. The bathroom has both a bath and separate walk-in shower with WC and the gas central heating boiler for the annexe is housed in a cupboard in Bedroom 2.
Outside: On approaching the property there is a block paved parking area for approximately four cars in front of the annexe with a natural stone wall boundary to the front. There is also further block paved parking in front of the detached large garage. A wrought iron gate opens to a pathway which leads to the garage and house as well as leading to the beautiful, landscaped gardens to the front. These gardens step down to the property with stone walled areas containing a vast array of flowering plants and shrubs and includes a pond and a pretty, circular paved seating area with trellis separating the garden from the parking to the annexe. The pathway continues to the front of both properties passing a well with pump. A pedestrian gate leads round the side of the main house with a raised garden area with soft fruit bushes and the pathway continues to the rear where a large, paved area to the rear of the garden room provides seating ideal for alfresco eating. There is a lawned area which links to a lovely cottage garden in front of the annexe with herbs and flowering plants and a patio seating area. The pathway continues to the other side of the property with paved enclosed area with shed. The annexe garden could be easily separated from the main garden. The whole of the rear garden is enclosed and not overlooked by any other neighbouring property and also enjoys the lovely views towards the countryside in the distance. The garage is sizeable (20’2 x 15’1/ 6.15m x 4.59m) with an electric up-and-over door, power and light, window to rear and pedestrian door to front garden.
