Orchard Cottage is a sympathetically upgraded Grade II listed period home set on a large plot in the heart of Bishopstone. The recent contemporary extension creates a stunning vaulted kitchen/dining/family room with floor-to-ceiling glazing, granite worktops, island, integrated appliances and direct access to a sunny southerly garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. The glazed link to the original cottage preserves character: an impressive sitting room with chalkstone fireplace and wood-burning stove, plus three further reception rooms including a study and snug.
The property is well presented throughout with ample driveway parking, utility room and mature, private gardens. Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making remote working straightforward, and direct access to The Ridgeway for countryside walks. The village offers a pub, shop, pond and primary school within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the house is Grade II listed: this affords charm and protection but will restrict alterations and may complicate certain works. The original cottage rooms have lower ceilings and smaller room proportions compared with the modern extension. One nearby state primary has an Ofsted rating of "Requires improvement"; other independent and good-rated schools are available locally. Overall this home suits buyers seeking a character cottage with contemporary living space in a sought-after village setting.
