6 bedroom detached house for sale

The Orchard is a very appealing family home, dating back to around 1907. Built in an Arts and Crafts style the house offers well-proportioned and elegant accommodation as shown in the enclosed floor plans. The tiled porch leads through the front door to the welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The reception hall has doors leading to the drawing room with open fire, beyond which is the dining room and beautiful part-glazed garden room. The generous family room, with 2 bay windows, is situated next to the large and very well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with separate pantry. The utility room with doors to both the gardens and courtyard and the boiler room complete the ground floor. There is also a cellar with stairs from the entrance hall. The main bedroom with en suite bathroom, 3 further bedrooms, family bathroom and study are on the first floor. The second floor offers 2 further bedrooms (each with their own bathroom) and a TV room. Gardens and Grounds The house sits delightfully in the centre of its plot and is approached along a gravelled driveway with lawns to one side and a fruit orchard on the other. The driveway leads to the front of the house and the double garage, with power, light, an electric car charging point and large storage room over. Just next to the utility room is a garden store and a courtyard with log store and bike store. To the rear the gardens are mostly lawned with an attractive terrace adjacent to the house, there are many floral and shrub beds, mature trees and an area of wild grasses. The Orchard is delightfully situated overlooking Chorleywood Common (188 acres of woodland, grassland, bridal paths, a golf club and cricket club). The station at Chorleywood is a short walk away with services to London Baker Street as well as the Chiltern Line to Marylebone. The village centre is around 1⁄2 a mile away across the Common and offers a range of shops, cafes and restaurants. The M25 junction 18 is a mile away, giving access to London and the national motorway network and Heathrow airport (16 miles). The area benefits from a choice of very well-regarded schools both state and independent.
