Ormrods, Withypool

Ormrods sits within around one acre of private gardens leading directly down to the River Barle. Comprehensively remodelled in 2010, this comfortable holiday home sleeps up to 6 guests across three double bedrooms, with entrance on the first floor. The main living accommodation is upstairs, making the most of extensive views over the Moor to the south, east and west, and comprises a spacious living room, kitchen-dining room, utility room, one double bedroom and a shower room with toilet and hand basin. Two further bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, are on the ground floor, giving three bathrooms in total. The kitchen is fitted with a Rayburn plus an electric hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, while the utility room has a washing machine, Belfast sink and underfloor heating, handy for drying walking boots and clothes. Oak flooring runs through the kitchen, dining room and reception room. The living room has a wood-burner with logs provided, and central heating runs throughout. Bi-fold doors lead from the living room and dining area onto a south-facing balcony with table and chairs, ideal for summer evenings and stargazing over the Moor. Broadband, Sky and a DVD player are available. Outside, the terraced garden extends to about an acre, mostly laid to lawn with perennial plants and shrubs, stone-walled terracing, garden benches and a stone seat with elevated views. The lower garden is a site of special scientific interest where wild orchids grow, and the River Barle borders the bottom of the garden, so caution is advised, particularly with young children. Two sheds hold logs and garden tools, plus a barbecue, and there is a double dog kennel with separate runs. Private parking for three to four cars is available beside the road next to the property, with a few steps down to the front door.
