Description This is a fantastic, beautifully presented light and spacious family home. Completed to the highest standard in 2015 and benefitting at the time from a 10 year NHBC warranty, Orchard Barn is a detached house constructed of brick and block with treated black weather boarded elevations beneath a slate roof which is fitted with high specification Velfac double glazed windows and doors. Approached from Long Lane via wooden double gates, there is a large private gravelled area with an attractive oak frame English Heritage two bay cart lodge with light and power connected.

Entering the house via an oversized aluminium clad glazed door you immediately feel the quality of this special property. The spacious entrance hall with engineered wooden flooring, leads to the right via double doors into the spacious sitting room with views over the landscaped gardens. The vendors have added a Charnwood Multi-fuel stove together with cupboards and shelving beside the chimney breast. Beside the sitting room is a second reception room – also with double doors from the hall - which overlooks the garden and could either be used as a snug sitting room (as now) or perhaps a dining room. To the left of the hall is the well proportioned kitchen/dining room which is fitted with composite stone work surfaces and integrated Siemens appliances including a dishwasher, oven, combination microwave/oven with warming drawers, large fridge and separate freezer. There is ample space for dining and sitting and has an island with a breakfast bar and integrated Siemens induction hob with a recessed extractor. This dual aspect room has attractive porcelain tiles, deep windows to the front aspect and French doors to the terrace and garden beyond. Beside is the cloakroom and utility room with side access to the garden, and fitted with a sink and space for a washing machine.

A bespoke handcrafted oak staircase with frameless glass balustrade, leads up to the 4 bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has a walk in wardrobe and has been fitted with a range of eaves cupboards providing shelving and further hanging space. The en suite bathroom is fitted with Duravit white sanitary ware . There is a vaulted family bathroom and en suite shower room to the second/guest room of the same standard. Each bedroom is fitted with black out blinds and/or shutters and the Velux windows are remote controlled and rain sensitive.

Outside there is a gravelled drive to the front with considerable parking and access to the Cartlodge. A paved stone pathway leads around the house to a Sandstone terrace at the rear. The gardens have recently been landscaped – designed by Richard Arnott from Melbourn – with a box lined shaped path to the paved circular dining area, and a variety of well stocked, shaped beds defining different zones within the garden. In the far corner is a recently constructed purpose built Cedar clad and air conditioned gym outbuilding, mirrored along the back wall with internet connection and power points to suit a buyer looking for an office/studio. To the front of this building is a hardwood decking area enjoying views across the delightful gardens.
