Old Orchard Studio is a distinctive split-level detached home set on roughly a fifth of an acre in the sought-after village of Bawburgh. The house makes the most of an elevated position with bi-folding doors and a glass-fronted balcony that deliver panoramic views over water meadows and a private north-west facing garden framed by mature fruit trees and a small stream. The open-plan upper living level, multi-fuel burner and a well-equipped modern kitchen create a bright, social heart to the house.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes three generous bedrooms, an ensuite dressing area to the principal suite and a family bathroom. Practical features include an understairs storage cupboard, utility area, cloakroom and ample off-street parking for several vehicles to the paved front. The plot’s size and layout offer scope for gardeners and those wanting outside privacy and flexibility.
Important practical points: the property is solid brick (as built) with assumed no wall insulation, secondary glazing and oil-fired central heating with an external boiler. These factors, together with a council tax band above average, mean potential buyers should allow for energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing fuel costs. The local area statistics also note higher-than-average crime, which may be a relevant consideration for some purchasers.
This is a characterful home that will suit buyers who value rural views, a large plot and versatile living over turnkey, low-maintenance modern performance. It will particularly appeal to those seeking a distinctive village property with scope to upgrade insulation and heating, or buyers looking to adapt a sizable plot to their needs.
