Notably, Denton was a significant landowner in the region and constructed many of the houses along Orchard Road.

The property remains an iconic slice of Stevenage's history, notably it's nestled within the Orchard Road Conservation Area - a locality characterised by its architectural and historic interest.

According to Hunters, it's a "rare once in a lifetime opportunity" to acquire such a house of significant "Victorian architectural quality and style."

Extending over one third of an acre, Orchard House comes with bountiful mature grounds and a wooden lot area, additional to the regular living space.

This extra plot behind the walled garden can be used for storage or as a children's play area, according to the estate agent.

Additionally, the house has an outdoor swimming pool, although it requires refurbishment, as pointed out by Hunters.

Period features of the house include decorative oak panelled walls, high ceilings, a wine cellar, and a distinctive first floor landing that enables east/west wing separation.
