“ORCHARDFIELD HOUSE” THE CLACHAN, BALFRON G63 0NY

“Orchardfield House” is a classic stone built Georgian home, being ‘B’ listed and dating back to the early 18th century. With its fastidiously maintained painted render exterior, pitched slate roof and delightful timber astragalled windows, this must surely rate as one of the prettiest homes to come to the market of late. Within the past couple of years, the owners have cleverly extended the property to the side with the addition of a lovely sun room which can double as a further bedroom or sitting room, making the internal layout most versatile.
