This three-bedroom bungalow carries three reception rooms, large wrap-around grounds, an integral garage and a gated driveway. The internal layout is practical for those with mobility limitations.
Rolling south Herefordshire countryside serves as a delightful backdrop to this capacious, three-bedroom bungalow which is set within a well-appointed village. The detached residence carries three reception rooms as well as large wrap-around grounds (approximately 0.3 acre), an integral garage and a secure, gated driveway. The internal layout is also designed in a way to ensure that it would offer comfortable, practical and convenient accommodation to a less mobile family member or those with mobility issues.
While there is a wealth of amenities on offer in the village itself, Little Orchard is a short drive (approximately 6 miles) from the cathedral city of Hereford which boasts an excellent assortment of restaurants, shops, supermarkets, bars, leisure facilities and the county hospital.
Location
Much Birch offers a doctor's surgery and a Church of England primary school, which consistently gains 'Good' ratings by Ofsted. In terms of secondary schools, Hereford and the other nearby market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth all provide various highly regarded options - in terms of both public and private schooling.
The location boasts beautiful and quiet walking routes - and Aconbury Wood is worth a special mention; the land showcases far-reaching views of the Wye Valley and the Black Mountains and is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. It is an entirely peaceful escape; there is an Iron Age hill fort to explore and, over the summer months, wild berries grow, while sweet chestnuts appear in the autumn.
For shopping, Hereford presents plenty of places to browse. However, if you prefer to avoid the hustle and bustle of a city, the village of Wormelow - around two miles away - offers a very highly commended village shop, Carrot & Wine Stores, which stocks locally made food and fresh produce. There is another excellent supplier of local produce a short drive away, on the A49 between Much Birch and the market town of Ross-on-Wye; the award-winning Pengethley Farm Shop, offers bakery goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses, dry goods, drinks and home-grown meat.
The home at a glance
As the name suggests, Little Orchard boasts a copse of fruit trees in the rear garden. The bungalow sits within the centre of its plot and the outside space consists of level lawns, patio seating areas and a raised bed kitchen garden, which is complete with a greenhouse as well as two secure sheds. In terms of parking, there is an expansive double driveway plus an integral garage with up-and-over electric doors.
The main entrance leads into a sunroom, a dual-aspect space that catches the light during the afternoon. This exhibits a particularly lovely far-reaching vista of the surrounding farmland; therefore this peaceful spot presents one with an excellent reading nook.
Beyond here, a second door leads into a spacious reception hall. There are three doors along the left-hand side, all of which give access to the three double bedrooms. The first, much like the sunroom, showcases the rural landscape beautifully and also includes a built-in wardrobe with a sliding door. The second bedroom also includes a built-in wardrobe and includes an ideal space for a dressing table. The third bedroom overlooks the little orchard in the rear garden and includes a vanity unit. As the property also includes a family shower room as well as a cloakroom next to the back door, there are ample washing facilities to appease families even on the busiest of mornings.
The right-hand side of the reception hall leads into a generous sitting room. The principal focal point is a stone fireplace. Plenty of natural light pours in through picture windows which capture the enchanting country view. There are also alcoves built into two corners of the room which include shelving and lighting, offering an attractive space to display pretty trinkets and family photographs.
An archway leads into a formal dining room, giving a view over the rear garden. Through to the right, there is a kitchen which has enough room to accommodate a dining table and chairs, plus wooden cabinets, a glazed tile floor, space for an electric oven, an extractor fan and plumbing for a dishwasher. Beyond here, there is a rear lobby which leads out to the rear garden. Next to the door, there is a little seating space which presents one with a great spot to enjoy an evening drink whilst waiting for dinner.
On the opposite side of the rear lobby, there is a door into the integral garage. This contains built-in cupboards fitted with several rows of shelving and, in the far right-hand corner, there is a utility room which gives space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer as well as additional storage space.
