Orchard Cottage is a characterful detached two-storey cottage set on a generous plot in peaceful Shirlheath, close to Kingsland and three miles from Leominster. The house blends exposed timber beams and an inglenook with a long kitchen/dining area and a bright triple-aspect garden room that opens onto paved seating and mature lawns — ideal for country living and outdoor entertaining.
The ground floor layout is practical: a vaulted sitting room with a wood-burning stove, large kitchen/diner with fitted timber units and quality ovens, and a convenient ground-floor shower room. Upstairs there are two comfortable double bedrooms, the main of which has windows on three sides, plus a family bathroom. Plenty of storage is provided by under-stairs cupboards and outbuildings.
Outside the plot is a major asset: mature trees, flowering borders, greenhouse, paved terrace, gravelled parking for multiple cars and a detached single garage. The property is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward for a buyer to proceed. This will suit owners seeking a peaceful rural home with character and generous outdoor space.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the property has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, heating is oil-fired (individual supply), and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The garage and some internal fittings would benefit from updating. These factors are reflected in the maintenance and running costs a new owner should expect.
