About the Property

A Home Built for Every Season

“If we had to describe Orchid Lee in three words, we would say: space, calm, and a different pace of life.”

Approximately 4,249 sq ft across three floors, with generous, light-filled reception rooms, original timber panelling, exposed brick fireplaces, and views across open countryside. A bespoke kitchen by Naked Kitchens opens onto a sandstone terrace, and 1.25 acres of gardens and mature woodland provide an elevated setting with treetop views across National Trust land.
