Orchard Cottage represents a rare opportunity to purchase a recently renovated and refurbished detached dormer bungalow nestled within an idyllic and tranquil rural setting on the edge of Castlemorton Common.

The current vendors have spared no expense when it comes to their time and quality of materials that have been used to create this loving family home. It is evident that every detail has been thought of from the bespoke handmade Parlour Farm kitchen, exquisite Hartley Botanic glasshouse, contemporary sanitaryware together with the most impressive solid oak joinery throughout. The colour of the interiors shows a natural flare for design and showcases all that this exceptional property has to offer.
