THE PROPERTY Occupying one of Silverton’s most sought-after addresses, The Old Orchard is a wonderfully private family home offering over 2,400 sq.

ft of well-proportioned and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

A long, sweeping driveway, bordered by established trees and shrubs, leads to a generous parking area and creates an immediate sense of seclusion, all while being within the heart of the village.

The entrance porch opens into a welcoming hall, setting the tone for the space beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms a natural hub of the house, with a terracotta tiled floor, a wide range of wall, base and drawer units, and a breakfast bar to one side.

Overlooking the charming garden, it provides ample room for a breakfast table and is ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.

A useful utility room lies adjacent, with access through to the conservatory and out to the garden and terrace.

The triple-aspect sitting room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the front garden and is centred around a feature red-brick fireplace with a woodburning stove.

The ground floor is further complemented by a dining room, garden room, office and cloakroom, giving the house excellent versatility.

On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while each of the bedrooms enjoys a lovely outlook either across the gardens or over the village towards the neighbouring countryside.

OUTSIDE Outside is a delight and has clearly been a labour of love with numerous established shrubs, trees and a productive kitchen garden.

There is a shaded seating area under a pergola with its own vine, alongside other seating areas around the garden, one of which is a terrace directly outside the conservatory.

To the front, there is a large parking area, further mature flower beds and direct access from the garden to the church and village via a “secret gate”.

The Old Orchard owns its drive, where a neighbour has right of way over the first part. Numerous rare trees and shrubs flank the drive creating a charming feel upon arrival.

Outbuildings include a double garage with storage above.
