Description

Elegant and traditional, with all the modern conveniences of a more contemporary home, The Orchard is the perfect thatched cottage. Nestled within idyllic gardens just a few hundred metres west of the river Thames, this gorgeous 16th century cottage is Grade II listed and is built from red brick under a pretty thatched roof, with masses of character inside including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and brick and stone walls. The cottage is deceptively spacious with generous proportions and has been sympathetically extended, yet still affords the warm, cosy feel of a character home. The extension offers flexible accommodation that can offer up to three bedrooms or office space depending on the buyer’s needs. It is set within about 1.8 acres of varied and highly versatile grounds, including landscaped gardens, tranquil natural ponds and lots of mature trees. There are also a number of outbuildings, including a garage with oak frame detached studio, currently used for yoga, but suitable for versatile use

Interior:
The beautifully presented interiors have been modernised while preserving the original character of the home, combining character elements with more contemporary touches including a handmade bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating and a magnificent garden room, which connects the home to the outdoors. All of the windows have been updated with custom frames and the bathrooms have also been modernised, while the interiors have been renovated throughout. The entrance hall, with its welcoming wood-burning stove, leads to a sitting room, the garden room and a modern addition comprising an office, snug/extra bedroom and shower room. The garden room runs along the south-east side of the house, perfect for enjoying the morning light, while the kitchen and snug/dining room are situated together for ease of entertaining. Upstairs there are four good-size bedrooms, three of which are doubles, and a family bathroom. Adjoining the oak frame garage is a spacious office/ studio space with bathroom, and there is a laundry room located within the gardens.

Outside

The grounds are extensive and envelop the house on all sides, beginning with an impressive winding driveway lined with box hedging and backing onto the water meadows that lead down to the river Thames. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, featuring extensive planting around the terraces and within well-stocked flowerbeds and borders. A wide stone terrace at the back serves as the perfect space for entertaining in the warmer months, and there are number of places to sit and enjoy the tranquillity. Within the garden there is a summerhouse and a detached studio, currently used for yoga, which would also make an excellent gym. To the front there is a garage and an attached log store, with ample parking on the driveway.
