There is plenty of sunshine however to give you gold in your tan if not in your pan on this awesome ridge. Orchard Rise falls to a tranquil valley and quiet double glazed and insulated home. It is hard to believe how close it is to the cafes and shops across the river, the willow hung river trail to Clyde, and the duck and wildfowl habitats on the hill.
