5 bedroom detached house for sale

Beautifully renovated country home with impressive gardens in a secluded setting. Description Set well back from the lane and approached via a long, double-gated driveway framed by mature trees and flourishing rhododendrons, Orchardway House is a truly exquisite residence, nestled at the heart of its secluded and beautifully landscaped grounds. Dating back to the 1860s, this elegant country home has been lovingly and meticulously restored by the current owners to an exceptional standard, whilst still being sensitive to the character of the property. Every element, from bespoke windows to luxurious bathrooms and professionally designed gardens, reflects a commitment to both quality and heritage. The spacious and welcoming reception hall sets the tone, flowing effortlessly into an impressive central area with a striking fireplace with a log-burning stove. From here, the principal ground floor rooms radiate, creating a great sense of flow and proportion throughout. The main sitting room is a serene, light-filled space with a charming double aspect and views over the gardens. A wood-burning stove provides a warm focal point, ideal for intimate evenings or elegant entertaining. Adjacent is a cosy room currently arranged as a games room, equally well-suited as a study or reading room. The kitchen, by Mark Wilkinson, offers bespoke cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, and a large AGA with integrated gas hob. With views over the rear gardens and direct access to a generous terrace, it is a space both practical and beautiful, perfect for eating outside and summer gatherings. Beyond the kitchen, the everyday dining area features another wood burner and opens onto a striking conservatory, designed to accommodate more formal occasions while overlooking the manicured front lawns and the wonderful borders. A study provides an inspiring space to work, with garden views and a sense of tranquillity. A spacious playroom lies to the rear, light-filled, inviting, and complete with another wood burner. The stylish utility room, beautifully fitted by The Heritage Wardrobe Company, and a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the principal suite is an elegant calm space. The dual-aspect bedroom flows into a stunning dressing room, fitted with bespoke cabinetry from The Heritage Wardrobe Company, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, double basins, and an expansive walk-in shower. Three further bedrooms are also superbly appointed, two with en suites and one served by a family bathroom. The second floor has a further bedroom suite with adjoining study or dressing space and access to loft storage. The grounds extend to just over five acres and are well planned. A superb 30-foot indoor swimming pool with changing and showering facilities offers year-round enjoyment. The recently refurbished tennis court and adjacent practice cricket net provide excellent opportunities for sporting practice. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to combine aesthetic appeal with ease of maintenance, featuring wide open lawns, a managed woodland with a log store, and a fenced paddock to the rear. Additional outbuildings include a garage, a large workshop, and an impressively equipped gym. There is generous parking for multiple vehicles, with potential for further parking within the paddock if desired. Discreet and tasteful, Orchardway House offers the perfect balance of heritage, comfort, and modern luxury, an exceptional home in a wonderful setting.
