Overview

Pond Cottage is an enchanting period home of immense character, featuring exposed timber beams, traditional thatched and tiled rooflines, brick elevations, dark timber cladding and timber-framed windows. Inside, it offers over 2,200 sq ft of sensitively updated and beautifully presented accommodation, retaining a wealth of character features. The ground floor includes a characterful sitting room with a feature exposed brick fireplace with heavy timber lintel and brick flooring, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. There is also a spacious, light-filled drawing room with French doors opening seamlessly onto the garden. The generous kitchen and breakfast room is well suited to family life, featuring a skylight, terracotta tiled flooring, bespoke cabinetry and an impressive blue Aga set within a brick chimney breast. A well appointed utility room and shower room provide further practical space. On the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly spacious, with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and elegant wood panelling. One of the additional bedrooms benefits from eaves storage and access to a unique roof terrace, offering elevated views across the village. A contemporary family shower room with a walk-in shower completes the accommodation.

Outside

Outside, the property is set within beautifully maintained cottage gardens, with level lawns, brick pathways and mature flint and stone walling. The elevations are adorned with established wisteria, while a variety of sheltered seating areas provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining. To the side, a gravel driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a detached garage and a separate bike store.
