So much more than just another period cottage. With it's charming exterior, quintessential country front garden and romantic steps up to the weathered oak porch, you would be forgiven for envisaging a typically quaint cottage interior.

As you step through into the stylish open plan kitchen this modern country property comes to life. With it's bold detailing and high quality finishes, this functional and elegant kitchen is just a dream. With space for family or friends to sit at the large central island and chat over coffee made by the inbuilt barista machine.
The kitchen then transitions into an exceptional dining and living space, flooded with natural light from the roof lights and walls of glass looking out onto the large dining patio. This fabulous room has a lovely relaxing ambience with its interesting ceiling shapes and glimpses of green from the garden, but it would also be a wonderful room for entertaining. Alternatively you can cosy down in the separate sitting room with characterful fireplace and log burning stove or unwind in the homely snug with it's beamed ceiling and exposed brick chimney breast.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two with beautifully fitted ensuites, and a luxurious bathroom that is straight out of a boutique hotel. The master bedroom is a haven for relaxation, with theatrical cathedral ceiling, exposed beams and an enviable private terrace.
The garden at Orchard Cottage is simply spectacular. As you follow the pathway past the orchard, the garden opens out into what can only be described as a hidden oasis.

With far reaching views of the surrounding countryside, it is idyllic.
