The Property

Orchard House is an attractive and impressive Grade II Listed property sitting in glorious unspoilted Cumbrian countryside. The accommodation has been beautifully renovated and rests in a superb plot of around 0.83 acres within the village of Walton, close to Hadrian’s Wall and the bustling market town of Brampton.

The generous and flexible living spaces to the ground floor have been elegantly modernised but retain a number of charming character features, including exposed wooden beams, cosy fireplaces and sash windows throughout. The entrance hall is bright and welcoming, providing access to the principal accommodation. The remarkable sitting room is both spacious and impressive, filled with natural light from three sash windows and French doors to the garden room. The garden room provides a perfect spot to relax with patio doors opening out onto the terrace and gardens, whilst the dining room offers more formal entertaining space with a gas fire and again with access to the terrace.

The elegantly appointed kitchen/breakfast room has a wonderful traditional look yet feels contemporary and ideal for modern day living. There is an excellent range of fitted units with granite worktops and a breakfast island with timber worktop, along with a magnificent AGA, Belfast sink and integrated dishwasher. Oak floor runs throughout the room. Further convenience is offered by a generous utility with storage units, sink, underfloor heating and plumbing for a washing machine. A useful boot room adjoins the utility. A large family room provides another reception space, with underfloor heating, French doors and a further side door, both leading out to the terrace and gardens, and a study could be configured for a variety of uses. A ground floor WC provides convenience and features a built in cupboard with a lovely wash hand basin atop.

The first floor landing leads to all the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is bright and airy, with the already generous space further enhanced by a separate dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a window seat. The en-suite is open to the main bedroom but concealed by a curved partition wall. The striking contemporary suite comprises freestanding bath, separate walk in shower, wash hand basin and WC. The luxurious finish is completed by underfloor heating. There are three further bedrooms with varying views across the gardens, village green and fells beyond. Two of the bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC, and there is also a separate WC.

Externally

Orchard House rests in attractive and private gardens stretching to around 0.83 acres in all. A forecourt garden sits to the front and there is an extensive parking leading to double gates to the rear and the practical detached double garage. The garage benefits from power and lighting, with a side door to the garden.

The sweeping rear garden has a south westerly aspect, and is mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance, with mature trees and shrubs to the boundaries, along with a useful log store. To the rear of the house is the flagged terrace, providing the perfect place for outdoor entertaining. Views from the terrace garden open up to surrounding fields.
