Description
Orchard Cottage is a traditional stone cottage situated in the heart of
Condicote and offers a peaceful and idyllic retreat. The cottage is Grade II

The porch opens into an entrance with a log store and limestone floor, which
leads into the cottage’s partially open plan kitchen, snug area, and dining
room. This is the heart of the home, a wonderful place for family and friends
to come together where period charm combines perfectly with modern
convenience. The kitchen, with its high barn ceiling, has a large oak island
with integrated breakfast bar, a fitted Rangemaster cooker and matching
chimney hood and integrated dishwasher. Attractive hand painted kitchen
cabinets incorporate a Butler’s styled sink, plate rack, glazed display
cupboards and wine rack. There is space for an American style fridge freezer.
The snug area and dining room enjoy views over the garden. The dining room
gives direct access to a delightful enclosed garden. Flooded with light, it
has a pair of oak framed French windows with exterior stone surround and floor
to ceiling glass panels and two oak framed glass doors. There is a Stovak wood
burner with stone hearth. A cloakroom with additional hanging space completes
the downstairs.
On the landing there is a picture - perfect view of the church bell tower, a
wealth of character features and exposed ‘A’ frame beams. There are two useful
storage cupboards. The principal bedroom is dual aspect and enjoys views
towards the countryside and the bell tower. There is a bespoke painted wooden
fitted double wardrobe. The modern adjoining shower room has a tiled shower
cubicle, heated towel rail, fitted oak shelves, hand basin and WC. The second
bedroom is charming with pine floorboards, a painted double wardrobe, and a
window with countryside views. The middle bedroom has similar views and lovely
pine floorboards. The well - appointed family bathroom has a slipper bath.
The cottage is approached through a five - bar wooden gate and a curved
gravelled driveway provides private parking. The lawns are well - maintained and
cottage gardens flank a wide step as you approach the front door, and a mature
clematis festoons the front elevation. A loggia style terrace is a perfect
