About the property
A stunning converted barn with characterful oak beams throughout and a vaulted first floor ceiling.
Top quality contemporary soft furnishings and quality solid oak furniture.
Orchard Cottage stands alone above the old farm orchard which was replanted in 2012 in the traditional manner with apple and pear trees.
The accommodation on the ground floor comprises a large open plan living space with two distinct seating areas (one with magnificent views over the surrounding countryside), a dining area and kitchen/breakfast area. A further bedroom with ensuite bathroom is also located on the ground floor all of which benefits from underfloor heating.
A widescreen television, with separate DVD player, complements the main seating area which also benefits from a woodburning stove.
The first floor, accessed by an open tread oak staircase, comprises three bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom.
Two bedrooms upstairs have double beds with the other, and the downstairs bedroom, having the flexibility of zip and link type beds.
All bathrooms have baths with powerful showers over, washbasins and WCs.

Leisure facilities: shared heated 13 metre indoor swimming pool and sauna, extensive farm walks, croquet lawn, private fishing and clay pigeon shooting, wildlife safaris and camera deer stalking.
