It was also designated a ‘Positive Building’ within the Wenvoe Conservation Area – a testament to its enduring design and quality. With landscaped wraparound gardens, thoughtfully planned interiors, and a superb village location, Orchard House offers not just generous living space, but a lifestyle that balances privacy, community, and connection.
