Orchard House is a beautifully presented detached country home with character features, generous reception space, five bedrooms, and established gardens, set within the tranquil village of Boraston.
The village of Boraston lies amidst rolling North Worcestershire countryside, just a short distance from the historic market town of Tenbury Wells. The area is known for its rural charm, with quiet country lanes, open farmland and a strong sense of community. Tenbury Wells offers a range of independent shops, pubs, a supermarket, and well-regarded schools, as well as regular markets and cultural events. The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, while nearby Ludlow and Leominster offer further shopping, dining and leisure facilities.
Tucked away behind a gravelled driveway, Orchard House immediately impresses with its attractive, painted brickwork, timber-framed windows and mature borders.
From the parking area, a brick path leads to a covered entrance porch with pitched slate roof, which opens into a welcoming dining room hallway. The dining room showcases natural wood flooring, a beamed ceiling and an eye-catching bespoke timber staircase. The space is filled with light and offers a warm and sociable area for family meals or entertaining guests. The dining room provides direct access to the third reception room with double windows.
Continuing through the house, the main sitting room lies at the heart of the home. This spacious yet comfortable room features exposed ceiling beams and a brick inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Double windows and French doors allow natural light to pour in, giving access directly to the front courtyard. A second reception room � known as the playroom or music room � offers a quieter space, with another exposed fireplace, ceiling beams and traditional cottage-style finishes.
The kitchen lies to the end of the property and is arranged around a central dining table, blending charm with practicality. Fitted with a range of timber units, tiled splash backs and worktops, the kitchen is equipped with a Belfast sink, space for freestanding appliances and a Aga set into a chimney recess with wooden beam over. The kitchen links through to a utility area with additional units and space for white goods, leading onwards into the conservatory.
The conservatory provides a light-filled garden room, ideal for relaxing throughout the year, with views across the rear garden and doors opening onto the brick-paved courtyard. A downstairs cloakroom and boot room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs rise from the dining room to the first-floor landing, which stretches along the length of the house and is framed with attractive detailing and plenty of natural light. The principal bedroom is positioned to the end and features a unique circular window, painted feature wall, and ample space for furniture. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a modern contemporary touch. A free-standing oval bath, stone wash basin and matt black towel rail.
There are four further double bedrooms, each with their own individual charm � two arranged as doubles and two as generous singles � offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working. One family bathroom, traditionally styled with painted walls, a bath and overhead shower, WC and basin.
Outside, the gardens offer several distinct spaces. The brick-paved courtyard at the front is a superb area for entertaining, with ample room for both seating and dining, complimented by a built-in pizza oven and adequate BBQ cooking space. Raised beds, flowering borders and mature shrubs provide colour and interest, while steps lead up to a large, detached summer house, fully connected to mains electric. Enclosed lawned garden with space for growing vegetables. The boundaries are a mix of brick walling and timber fencing, ensuring privacy without compromising the outlook.
The oak-framed outbuilding provides a car port and secure store, ideal for garden equipment or hobbies. The gravelled driveway offers turning space and parking for multiple vehicles.
