Orchard House is a substantial, well-presented village home dating from 1860, arranged over multiple floors for comfortable family living. The layout includes four reception rooms, a show‑piece breakfast kitchen with integrated Miele appliances and a garden room with vaulted ceiling and bifold doors that bring the outside in. Period features such as fireplaces and exposed beams sit alongside later additions, creating flexible space for modern family life.
The property sits within roughly 0.6 acres of mature, private gardens that wrap around three sides and include shaped lawns, stocked borders and mature trees — excellent for children, pets and summer entertaining. Practical outbuildings comprise a gravel forecourt, parking for several cars and two brick garages, one with an additional storage area.
Accommodation can readily adapt to changing household needs: a ground‑floor reception currently used as a home office could become a bedroom or annexe area if required. The house benefits from mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) with underfloor heating in the kitchen, double glazing, and fast broadband — useful for homework and home working. Local schools rated Good and strong road links to Nottingham and the A46 make this attractive for commuting families.
Notable practical points are presented clearly: the house is solid brick as originally constructed, with no confirmed cavity insulation, so energy performance may lag behind modern builds. The install date of the double glazing is unknown. As a large, historic home there will be ongoing maintenance typical of properties of this age, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be weighed against the quality of the accommodation and the unusually generous, well‑tended grounds.
