The Orchids, Etchinghill, CT18

DESCRIPTION
This handsome detached executive home is situated at the end of a small and exclusive cul-de-sac comprising just five similarly attractive properties. The house offers generally well presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions and includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to a generous dual aspect sitting room, which, in turn, opens into the conservatory which unites the house with the garden. There is a separate dining room, study, well fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room and a cloakroom. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, (the fourth currently open to the principal room and used as a dressing room but could easily be separated and reinstated as the fourth bedroom), the principal bedroom with and en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.

The house occupies a generous plot with ample parking on the driveway to the front which also accesses the substantial detached double garage. To the rear, the garden also wraps around either side of the house and incorporates a generous expanse of lawn, a vegetable garden and a generous paved terrace providing a delightfully secluded spot for alfresco dining and entertaining.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
