Nestled in a tranquil setting and with views over open fields, this Grade II Listed semi-detached cottage blends character with contemporary luxury with exposed timbers and polished wooden floors.
Approached through remote control wooden gates and into the gravel driveway, steps lead to the porch and into the hallway. To one side is the snug/tv room, a cloakroom and ahead is the sitting room with inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, painted beams and French Oak floor. There is a spacious dining room with bookshelves and a bespoke wine rack in the old fireplace and a beautifully fitted Neptune kitchen with slate floor and central island breakfast bar, range cooker, built-in appliances and double doors leading out to the courtyard and garden.
There are two staircases, one from the dining room, one from the sitting room, both lead to the main bedroom with luxurious en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, and 3 further bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also a large loft room useful for storage or possible conversion, subject to consents.
The garden of Pond Farm Cottage has been cleverly curated and is a fine example of the English Country Cottage style with sweeps of Lavender, Annabelle Hydrangeas, perennial bushes and shrubs and mature trees, all edged by a brick and flint wall. There is a sun trap courtyard off the kitchen with a mature olive tree and built-in seating. The spacious double garage with sizeable loft has been divided into a gym or office and a store.
