This property is believed to date back to the 1700 s, the last two owners have been sympathetically updating and improving the house to create a stylish, low-maintenance home with traditional features. This beautifully presented detached Cotswold stone house is in an elevated position with roses, clematis and jasmine covering the front aspect. The lawns wrap around the front and to the side, complimented by the rear enclosed courtyard garden. It is well-presented, making a comfortable main home and there is no onward chain.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. There is a wellproportioned main reception room, which has an impressive Cotswold stone open fireplace with beam above, mullioned windows with some window seats, exposed beams and Cotswold stonework. Some wooden and stone floors run through some of the ground floor. There are some delightful details in this house, with features from the stone remains of the old bread oven, stone triangles and feature fireplaces. The kitchen has been designed around a cooker set in a tiled alcove, with excellent storage space and extensive worktops. All the bedrooms are double or twin rooms, with super views over the gardens and to the village. There is off-road parking to the side for at least 2 large cars. Orchard House would well suit a couples of any age or a small family who would appreciate the primary school that is in walking distance and the village shop. It would also serve as an excellent second home or for letting/ investment, as there is a pub in the village and Kingham station and Daylesford are only a short drive away. The very popular Soho Farmhouse can be reached easily as it is only 20 miles away.
