Orchard Dene is a substantial Victorian house, circa 500 sq m, centrally located on a plot of 3.35 acres, accessed via a large in and out shingled driveway, with attractive garden and grounds. The house was remodelled and extended at the rear in 2015.
The house benefits from a number of original features including generous ceiling heights, fireplaces, stained glass staircase window, square basket pattern wooden parquet and terrazzo flooring in the reception area.
There are two master bedrooms (27 and 31 sq m), two main lounges (27 and 31 sq m), a wood-panelled game room with full size snooker table (59 sq m) and an open-plan kitchen dining area (70 sq m) opening onto a decking via sliding glass doors.
Painted white with black timber panels on the south facing front, the house is on three floors and is topped with a Victorian tower/folly and a roof terrace. Flanked on the left-hand side of the property is a Victorian conservatory.
The garden comprises formal borders with a sunken fishpond/rockery in the centre, a fruit tree orchard planted in front of a lean-to Victorian style greenhouse, a kitchen garden and a yard opening to outbuildings, old stable block, large sheds, garages and extensive parking.
The lawns are bordered and interspersed with specimen trees (Lebanon cedar, copper beech, pine trees, chestnuts) and matured hedges of rhododendron ponticum and azalea that are in full bloom in May.
There are three classic cars at the property for shooting purposes, a classic Ferrari, a Jaguar E-type and a TVR. In addition to this, a large modern motor home (7.3m) can also be made available.
