A MODERN 5 BEDROOM 4 RECEPTION ROOM FAMILY HOME IN THE VILLAGE OF PENTRIDGE

Orchard House is set within the rural village of Pentridge and occupies a generous and private plot of approaching 1/3rd of an acre, located on a no through road next to the beautiful St Rumbold's Church, whilst enjoying extended views over nearby countryside.

Pentridge is a quiet village which consists of 29 houses, including two farms. There is a community hall, village green, post box and plenty of immediate walks and bridleways direct from the property. The views from Pentridge Hill and Martin down are truly very special. Residents can get involved with village events as little or as much as they wish. The village is also known to be light pollution free and is in Cranborne Chase which is a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There are plenty of local farm shops and village hubs including Bowerchalke, Martin and Broad Chalke for day to day amenities, whilst the village of Sixpenny Handley is 3 miles away and the Cathedral City of Salisbury is just over 12 miles away.

Salisbury, with its wide range of shops, restaurants, arts and recreational activities, offers a direct train service to London Waterloo (journey time from 85 minutes). The A303 provides access to the South West and London via the M3. Independent schooling is available nearby at Sandroyd, Forres Sandle Manor and Goldolphin Schools along with Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools with public schools in Sixpenny Handley and Cranborne.

Orchard House is an individual home built by a local builder in the mid 1980's providing extensive and versatile contemporary accommodation ideally suited to modern day living.

On the ground floor the welcoming entrance hall sets a spacious tone enjoyed by the rest of the house and gives access to all principle reception rooms. The large living room enjoys a glorious double aspect with an impressive brick fireplace surround housing an open fire, perfect for cosy evenings. Double doors lead through to the double glazed conservatory with views over the rear garden.
