Orchard House is a pretty Grade II listed property in a hamlet sitting in wonderful Shropshire countryside. The house is classic Georgian in style, with accommodation over three floors. Many period features remain including sash windows, high ceilings and a beautiful turned staircase.
Both reception rooms have duel aspect windows, which make the most of the natural light, while the sitting room has an exposed oak floor and a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove. The large kitchen/breakfast room has a Rayburn. A cellar is accessed externally.

Upstairs are four first-floor bedrooms and an elegant family bathroom with a roll-top bath. The staircase leads to the second floor where the superb master suite is found - offering oak floors, fitted wardrobes and a large sitting area with views out from three sash windows.
Outside a number of useful outbuildings are to be found, while the main garden lies to the rear, and is bordered with mature trees and hedges. A small paddock of around an acre is accessed from the drive - a further paddock is available by separate negotiation.
Orchard House is located in Lower Hayton, a hamlet just outside the historic town of Ludlow which has an excellent range of services; London is three hours by train.
The guide price is £590,000. For further information please contact Strutt & Parker on 01584 873 711 or visit www.struttandparker.com.
