Orchard Manor is a picturesque five bedroom detached home that is located in a beautiful rural location, situated less than 2 miles from the town of Ascot, and is conveniently located within an area prized for its close proximity to London with the City Centre less than 30 miles away. All communications are excellent with the A30 providing direct access to the national motorway network.Constructed in 2009 this semi-rural Berkshire home, measuring nearly 5,000 square feet, is over two floors and positioned on a superb 0.67 acre plot with a gated driveway that leads you to the property which is finished to a high specification, the design and layout of this home lends itself extremely well for practical modern living.The reception hall is spacious, and octagonal in shape, serving all the main living areas with an imposing central staircase which has a real wow factor. The two front facing rooms are similar in size, one has a gorgeous bay window and typically serves as a study which is perfect for somebody who wishes to work from home, the other is designed as a family room with a gas fireplace and is the perfect place to unwind and relax. The drawing room measures over 400 square feet with a fireplace, two sets of double doors out to the garden and a feature bay window. The inter-connecting dining room has expansive views across the rear garden and finally there is a smart guest toilet.The kitchen is of a modern design with a central island, which has a gas hob, integrated Bosch appliances, including double ovens and warming drawers, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Immediately off the kitchen is a bright orangery for either relaxed seating or possibly a table and chairs. Via the utility room, there is internal access to the double garage and a single side door to the garden. A second staircase leads upstairs where a sizeable, studio annexe with a kitchen and bathroom spans the entire width of the double garage and the single car port.The house has five well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes with sliding mirror doors. Each bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, each containing a bathtub and separate shower. The principal bedroom also has a dedicated dressing room and the generous upstairs landing is extremely bright owing to a well-placed large skylight directly above.The entire plot measures circa 0.7 of an acre with the house being framed in the centre, with mature trees and large bushes affording good privacy from any neighbouring houses. The garden is laid mostly to lawn with a patio running along the rear which is perfect for alfresco dining. The rear garden is south westerly facing, capturing the best light from the majority of the day’s sun.To the front there is a wide block paved driveway, providing ample parking for a number of vehicles, accessed by electric double wooden gates from the lane and flanked by tall, traditionally styled lamp posts. Attached to the house is a double garage with up and over doors and a covered, single car port.The nearby Ascot and Martins Heron stations also provide a regular British train service to Waterloo (approximately 50 minutes) and Reading (approximately 30 minutes). Ascot has an extremely broad appeal, with excellent local amenities, from the stylish boutiques, bijou cafés and mouthwatering delicatessens in the neighbouring villages, to the more extensive local facilities offered by Windsor, Reading and Camberley.
