Description

Orchard House is an impressive detached residence, beautifully positioned within a peaceful private lane linking Bascombe Road and Broadsands Road, one of Churston's most sought-after residential locations. Combining tranquillity with exceptional convenience, the property enjoys easy access to local shops, regular bus services and highly regarded schools, while the stunning South Devon coastline, picturesque coastal footpath and the golden sands of Broadsands Beach are all within easy reach. The bustling fishing port of Brixham and the traditional seaside town of Paignton are both approximately three miles away.

Occupying delightful mature gardens extending to approximately one acre, Orchard House enjoys an enviable outlook across its grounds towards the iconic Brunel steam railway viaduct, with the sea and distant coastline providing a superb backdrop.

The well-presented and generously proportioned accommodation offers excellent versatility for modern family living. The reception hall leads to three spacious reception rooms, including an elegant living room with direct access to the rear verandah and gardens, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining whilst enjoying the beautiful outlook. The formal dining room also enjoys doors opening onto the rear gardens, which again benefits from the superb vista. The well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a separate breakfast room, rear lobby, utility room and separate cloakroom/W.C.

Also situated on the ground floor is a generous dual-aspect double bedroom, equally suited as a home office or guest suite, together with a modern shower room/W.C. just across the hallway.

A beautiful staircase rises to an impressive first-floor landing with a useful linen cupboard and access, via a pull-down ladder, to the extensive loft space offering excellent storage/expansion potential. The first floor offers four further double bedrooms, three of which enjoy stunning elevated views across the gardens towards the historic viaduct, with the sea and distant coastline beyond and a fant5astic view of the paignton to kingswear steam train. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring a charming claw-foot bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and W.C.

Approached via two traditional five-bar gates, the property benefits from an impressive carriage driveway providing extensive parking for numerous vehicles. This continues to additional parking areas and gives access to a detached double garage together with a separate single garage.

The gardens surround the property on all sides, offering a wonderful degree of privacy, maturity and seclusion whilst taking full advantage of the exceptional outlook. Extensive lawns, established trees, shrubs and planting create an idyllic setting, making Orchard House a truly special family home.

Adding further appeal, an outline planning application was previously approved for the construction of a detached dwelling within the grounds of Orchard House. Interested parties are advised to consult the Torbay Planning Portal for further information under Application Reference P/2017/0453.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence in one of the area's most desirable locations, Orchard House successfully combines character, generous accommodation, exceptional gardens and exciting future potential.
