A word from the owner?..
?We have absolutely loved living at Old Orchard Farm. Driving up to the house with its uninterrupted views and secluded location, we were already in love. The moment we entered we knew the space and flow of the home would work for us.
There are so many things we love about the house, from its original features to its peaceful location, but I think the greatest thing for us has been that it is the perfect place to entertain.
The home was owned by a professional chef prior to us purchasing it, so cooking for guests is an utter delight. The converted barn is the perfect place to host parties and with all the bedrooms being ensuite it has been a great home to have friends and family stay over.
My biggest miss will be the evenings spent in the hot tub watching the sun setting and just enjoying the tranquillity Old Orchard Farm has brought to us. The views from here are the best!ec
