5 bedroom house

Orchard Croft occupies an unrivalled setting off a country lane at the end of its own private gated drive set amongst rolling countryside with large south facing gardens. The property is within a mile or so of the village of Carhampton with its shop/post office, village hall, church and pub and is also a few miles of the coast at Blue Anchor.

The original house which was built in the 1920’s has been completely transformed including the addition of a contemporary architect designed extension with zinc roof linking the main house by an impressive glazed reception with raised walkway between the lounge and a superb kitchen diner/family room with bi-fold doors onto the gardens and with glazed fronted subterranean garaging below.

The generous and versatile light and airy accommodation has been cleverly adapted for modern day family living and it will become evident on inspection that the vendors take a particular pride in the presentation of their home. The property is equipped with oil fired central heating, the majority of which is underfloor, hardwood and aluminium double glazing and is offered for sale to include integrate kitchen appliances, fitted carpeting and engineering oak flooring.
