Pond House is a delightful courtyard-style barn conversion offering almost 5,000 sq. ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, combining period features with modern décor and fittings. The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and includes a sitting room with a brick-built fireplace, a library with built-in shelving and a splendid fireplace and underfloor heating, a light-filled 33ft drawing room with wooden flooring, timber beams and three sets of French doors opening onto the courtyard garden. Additionally, the ground floor has a generous open-plan kitchen and breakfast room with skylights overhead and dual French doors opening onto the courtyard, as well as doors opening onto the timber decking beside the pond. The kitchen has an impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, skylights overhead and farmhouse-style fitted units with a central island, integrated appliances by Neff, an Aga and underfloor heating. There is one double bedroom and a shower room on the ground level, while the first floor provides a further three double bedrooms. These include the luxury principal bedroom with its built-in wardrobes and en suite shower room, as well as one further bedroom en suite. The first floor also has an additional shower room. The detached cottage has a sitting room with a double-height ceiling, timber eaves and a galleried landing above. There is also a well-equipped kitchen, one double bedroom and a shower room.
