Occupying a quiet end-of-cul-de-sac plot with countryside on the doorstep, this detached home offers off-road parking, a front garden, and an integral garage with an electric up-and-over door. With storage heaters throughout, the home provides a solid foundation for buyers seeking a project.
Entering through the front door, a practical porch area provides cloak space and helps enhance energy efficiency. Beyond this lies the open-plan lounge diner, a bright and versatile space featuring a focal electric fireplace and sliding glass doors opening into the conservatory. The conservatory in turn leads directly to the rear garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
The lounge provides access to the kitchen, which includes an oven with four-way hob, washing machine, sink area, good prep space, and a side door through a rear porch to the outside—ideal for muddy boots after countryside walks. The U-shaped stairwell includes generous storage space underneath.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a good-sized single bedroom, along with a three-piece family bathroom and an airing cupboard. Loft access is available from the landing.
The rear garden is private, peaceful, and easy to maintain, featuring a mix of shrubbery, flower beds, concrete pathways, and a garden shed. With no immediate overlooking, it offers a wonderfully quiet retreat for relaxation or family enjoyment.
Lambley is a charming rural village with deep historical roots, its name originating from the Old English term meaning “lamb’s meadow.” Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the village retains its heritage through landmarks such as the Grade I listed Holy Trinity Church. Surrounded by ancient woodland and the renowned Lambley Dumbles, the area boasts three marked walking trails through lush woodland rich in ferns, wildflowers, and natural wildlife—offering a peaceful escape into nature.
This friendly and tightly knit community enjoys a notably low crime rate thanks to its small size and village character. Families benefit from excellent local education, including the Ofsted-rated “Outstanding” Pinewood Infant and Nursery School, as well as parks and green spaces ideal for outings and recreation. Two welcoming country pubs provide quality food, local drinks, and a central hub for village life. Lambley is truly a quintessential English village offering calm, character, and countryside charm.
This property represents an exceptional opportunity for families, renovators, or investors. While fully functional, the home would benefit from cosmetic updating, giving buyers the chance to modernise to their own tastes and significantly increase value. With its location, plot, and natural surroundings, Orchard Rise provides the perfect foundation for a transformative renovation project.
