About the Home
With its appealing bay window, The Orchid is a 3-bedroom home that makes an instant impact. Look inside and you will find a carefully-planned family home with the focus on bringing everyone together, whilst also providing privacy where it’s needed most.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the key feature of The Orchid, with an attractive U-shaped layout and plenty of space for a dining table to seat everyone. French doors from the dining area open onto the rear garden, providing delightful views and also making it easy to keep an eye on little ones playing outside.
The separate living room is situated at the front of the home, and feels pleasantly bright thanks to its bay window. The ground floor is completed by an understairs storage cupboard, and a cloakroom usefully located by the front door.
Upstairs, bedroom 1 benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Bedroom 3 is optimally sized for a nursery or occasional guest room; alternatively, it would make the ideal home office or hobby room. There are also two convenient storage cupboards on the first floor, accessed from the landing.
