Orchards End is a spacious family home set on about half an acre at the edge of Aldborough village. The brick-and-flint façade and timber-framed sun room give the house character, while multiple reception rooms and a well-placed kitchen create flexible, sociable living space for day-to-day family life and entertaining.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms enjoy long views across neighbouring farmland; the principal suite offers a particularly peaceful outlook. Outside, sweeping lawns, mature fruit trees and several terraces provide versatile spaces for children to play, for gardening, or for alfresco dining during summer months. A garage and gravel driveway provide practical parking.
Practicalities to note: heating is supplied by an oil-fired boiler and the cavity walls appear to have no added insulation, which could affect running costs and may need improvement. The property dates from the 1950s–60s and, while well-maintained, offers potential for updating to suit modern standards and personal tastes. Council Tax Band F reflects higher ongoing local costs.
Positioned in a quiet village with a primary school, shop, pub and community facilities, this home will suit families seeking countryside living within reach of coastal towns and local schools. The plot size and room configuration also present options for extending or reconfiguring, subject to consents.
