Little Orchard is an attractive semi-detached, part-rendered, double-fronted period family home offering almost 1,800 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an L-shape over two floors. Thoughtfully configured for family living and entertaining, the property combines sash and casement glazing, quality fixtures and fittings, neutral décor, and original fireplaces.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming flagstone-floored reception hall, which features an exposed brick chimney breast with a double-sided woodburning stove. From here, doors lead to a rear-aspect drawing room with parquet flooring, walk-in storage, and bespoke shelving, as well as to a dual-aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace, woodburning stove, and French doors opening onto the rear terrace. A large, dual-aspect kitchen and dining area, also with flagstone flooring, provides further living space.

The kitchen is fitted with bespoke wall and base units, including a central island, complementary granite and wooden work surfaces, a Belfast sink, and modern integrated appliances. The adjoining dining area includes space for a sizeable table and features an exposed brick chimney breast (shared with the reception hall), full-height glazing, and French doors to the terrace. Beyond the dining area is a fitted utility room with an en suite shower room and an additional door leading to the rear terrace, offering flexibility in use for guests or practical daily living.

On the first floor, a generous landing with additional fitted storage leads to the front-aspect principal bedroom, which benefits from a vaulted ceiling, builtin storage, and a modern, fully tiled en suite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms—one featuring a cast iron fireplace and the others with fitted storage—alongside a stylish family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath.

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a resin forecourt providing private parking for several vehicles, flanked by a lowmaintenance area of level lawn. The well-maintained enclosed garden to the rear is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by raised flower and shrub beds and features a generous wraparound paved terrace partcovered by a gazebo, accessible from the sitting room and dining area and ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
