The orchard

The orchard

With its own gardens and orchard and located in an ‘idyllic’ quiet country lane, it is perfect for a home owner who likes to get away from it all and relax away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Described by sellers Gascoigne Halman as a ‘chocolate box listed thatched cottage’, the house has three good sized bedrooms, a rustic kitchen with an AGA cast iron cooker, four reception rooms and two bath/shower rooms.
