Orchard Gate, Berkeley Close, Dunkirk, ME13

A beautiful double fronted, detached residence built in 2015 and situated in a small private close of just seven attractive and individually styled houses.

Orchard Gate is an exclusive development centred around an old manor house, thought to have once been a diary, it's a handsome property, with lots of character, whilst the other six properties are modern, they have been architecturally designed to complement the original house.

Number four occupies an envious position with west facing rear garden, a recently paved driveway, and a garage with electric door. Internally there is almost 1400 sq.ft of exceptionally excellent energy efficient accommodation with high levels of insulation, double glazing, and a gas central heating system with underfloor heating installed throughout the whole of the ground floor.

The front door opens into a spacious hallway with cloak room, understairs storage and study which overlooks the close. High quality wood effect flooring has been laid seamlessly throughout and leads through to the kitchen dining area at the far rear.

An array of wall and floor units integrate many main appliances and include a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher whilst the kitchen is further enhanced by a well-appointed utility room with plenty of space for laundry appliances.

Bifold-doors open onto the garden whilst the dining area is partially open to the dual aspect sitting room which has a wood burning stove encompassed by a limestone mantle.
To the first floor one will find four generously proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, the principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and benefits from fitted wardrobes.

The west facing garden feels private and peaceful and enjoys sunshine most of the day and into the late into the evening, it has a large patio area running the full width of the property which leads onto low maintenance artificial grass.
