The Orangery is an incredibly special and unique family home, located in an elevated position in the popular Surrey village of Bletchingly. This brand new home is now complete and ready for occupation and offers over 3,200 sq ft of beautifully specified accommodation.
The main structure of the house has been clad in striking hues of Portland stone, whilst the rear of the house features an imposing orangery from which the house takes its name.
The heart of this wonderful home is the vaulted kitchen/dining/family room which provides approximately 800 sq ft (74 sq m) of bright, voluminous and perfectly zoned living space. The contemporary shaker kitchen stretches the full 24' width of the room and whilst the focal island provides an informal space for dining, there is plentiful space alongside for a large dining table. This leaves an extensive and flexible area for seating which enjoys wonderful views over the south facing garden and beyond. There are also a pair of French doors on either side of the room leading onto an east and west terrace.
There is also a generous bedroom suite on the ground floor featuring a spacious dressing room, an indulgent bathroom and French doors onto a south facing terrace. This would make a wonderful principal bedroom, home office or annexe.
The double garage features a utility area, all of which can be accessed off the main reception hall. There is also a guest cloakroom, plentiful storage and access to the lower ground floor cellar.
There are three further bedrooms upstairs, including a ''second' master bedroom suite, which features a separate dressing room and luxurious en-suite shower room. The two remaining double bedrooms have the added benefit of an en-suite bathroom or separate shower room.
There is also an additional reception room at first floor level, which would make an ideal secondary living space or generous study. This is located directly above the kitchen/dining area and overlooks the vast living area below.
The Orangery sits on a plot of approximately 0.45 acre* and is located within the curtilage of Bletchingly Castle; a scheduled ancient monument hailing from the 12th Century. The front courtyard and main area of rear garden have been professionally landscaped and feature extensive planting and beech hedging as well as hard landscaping and plentiful areas of decking. The property is bounded by mature woodland to the west and benefits from outstanding south facing views over the counties of Surrey and West Sussex.
Transport in the area is excellent. Junction 6 of the M25 is just over 2.5 miles away, giving easy access to the wider motorway network and Central London via the A22. There is also a local train station in Nutfield, whilst commuters can reach London from Redhill Station in as little as 30 minutes.
For families with children, there is a wide range of schools in the state and private sector. These include Bletchingly Village Primary School (rated ''Good' by Ofsted) and St Bede's School (rated ''Outstanding' by Ofsted). The highly regarded private Hawthornes Junior School is located just outside the village of Bletchingly, whilst much sought after senior schools including Caterham and Woldingham are just a short drive away.
