Description
Tucked away from passing traffic, a charming detached period house accompanied by a generous sunny garden. Set within the heart of the village of Charlton, Orchard House was formerly a barn before it was converted in the late 1970s. The property has been superbly maintained by the current owners and most recently was refitted with a new kitchen, shower room, utility room, and cloakroom, plus a new boiler and pressurised hot water system. This unique home occupies a private courtyard setting with views over neighbouring paddock land which, combined with the very well-presented accommodation, creates an idyllic country home, ideal as a lock-up and leave.
The accommodation spans over two floors extending to around 1,337 sq.ft. with the added benefit of a large garage and loft room over, which could potentially be converted into additional accommodation. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall and a spacious, dual-aspect living/dining room complete with a cosy wood-burning stove and glazed door overlooking the garden. The newly updated kitchen features superbly appointed units with oak drawers, a larder cupboard, and extensive range of Neff appliances including a dishwasher, induction hob and oven, and fridge/freezer. There is a useful utility room adjoining, complete with side access and convenient internal access into the garage. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom alongside a versatile landing snug/office area. The bathroom has been upgraded as a stylish shower room.
Set down a gravel driveway from the street, Orchard House has ample private driveway parking as well as the large garage. There is an EV charging point installed outside. The spacious L-shaped garden is a wonderful feature of the property and enjoys both south and west aspects. Laid mostly to lawn, the garden is filled with well-stocked borders and fruit trees.
Situation
