Orchard House is a spacious, detached four-bedroom family home set back from Front Street in Acomb. The property sits on a large, south-facing rear garden planted with mature shrubs and trees that create a high degree of privacy and generous outdoor space for children and gardening. Inside, there are three principal reception rooms plus a garden room, a breakfast kitchen with utility, two bathrooms and a ground-floor cloakroom — a practical layout for family life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a double garage, wide block-paved driveway with space for multiple cars, PVC double glazing and a tucked-away position only a short walk from Acomb centre’s shops and cafés. Local schools rated Good and Outstanding are within easy reach, which supports everyday family convenience.
Buyers should note several important practical realities: heating is electric with room heaters rather than central gas, the walls are solid brick and likely lack modern insulation, and the property has an EPC rating of D. Council Tax is band E and the area records above-average crime statistics; prospective purchasers should factor potential upgrade costs (insulation, heating, energy efficiency improvements) and local security considerations into their plans.
Offered freehold and chain-free, the house presents clear scope for modernisation to improve comfort and running costs while keeping the character of the period build. For families seeking space, established gardens and convenient access to amenities, this house offers a rare plot in Acomb — with straightforward potential to increase energy performance and personalise the interior.
