Orchard House, Big Lane, Clarborough, Retford, Nottinghamshire, DN22 9LT

Orchard House is a super example of a detached family home that has been the subject of a recent comprehensive refurbishment and is now offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain. 

Improvements commissioned by the current owner include the construction of a rear extension, installation of new windows, a new kitchen, bathroom and en-suite shower rooms to two of the bedrooms. The property has been re-decorated and new flooring has been installed throughout the home. Of particular note is the stunning open-concept kitchen/dining room. 

This lovely home has many of the attributes associated with a quality family home including separate reception rooms, a sociable open-concept kitchen/diner, four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. To boot, there’s a utility room and a ground floor cloakroom with toilet for guests. 

Externally, the property fronts Big Lane with open countryside to the opposite side of the road. A driveway provides off-road parking and access to a single garage and there are gardens to both the front and rear. 

The front door from the good-sized vestibule opens up into the entrance hallway where you get an immediate indication of the generously proportioned accommodation that prevails throughout the home. Here, a staircase rises to the first floor and there’s a useful cupboard, ideal for the storage of coats and shoes. A ground floor cloakroom has a toilet and wash basin. The lounge extends to an impressive 22’ (7m), has windows to both the front and side and bi-fold doors that open to the rear garden. The open-concept kitchen/diner is stunning and forms the hub of the home; a fantastic space in which to cook, dine and relax with family and friends. A contemporary range of cupboards have been installed that incorporate a built-in oven and an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The island unit has a breakfast bar and there’s space for a dining table and chairs. French doors open up into the garden. A separate, second reception room has a window overlooking the front. The utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink unit and a door that opens to the rear garden. 

Up on the first floor the landing has useful storage solutions. There are four double bedrooms; two of which have en-suite shower rooms, and a family bathroom. 

Clarborough is a sought-after village situated approximately three and a half miles north-east of Retford Town Centre and understandably therefore acts as a popular commuter village. The A1 is approximately five miles away and there is a direct rail service from Retford to London Kings Cross, a journey that takes approximately one hour and thirty minutes. 

Clarborough Primary School was rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2022 and local amenities include pubs, a post office, convenience store and play park. There are some lovely canal-side walks close to hand and award winning ‘Kings Park’ in Retford is around a ten minute drive away. 

Orchard House is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain and early enquiries and viewings are encouraged.
