Property Description
An iconic detached period cottage occupying an enviable position directly adjoining the idyllic village pond in the heart of this quaint village.

Description
Pond Cottage dates back to the late 1800's when it started life as a pair of "two up, two down" farm worker's cottages sited in an elevated location next to the village pond with far reaching rural views over the surrounding countryside.
The property has been extended and much altered over the years, notably in the 1930's (major renovation including making it one property), 1940's (rear extension for the the dining room and master bedroom suite) and in recent years (the Garden Room addition).
The end result is a cottage that retains a great deal of its period character and charm but is also a modern and practical family home. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, all with views, the master with dressing room and en-suite, as well as the main bathroom.
The owners have planning consent to create a fourth bedroom and extra shower room by linking to the outbuildings with a glass walk-way if so desired.
The sitting room has a great deal of character with open fireplace, exposed beams and even an ornately decorated door that The British Museum believe to be the top of a large chest that pre-dates the house. The dining room and garden room have a pleasant aspect over the cottage garden and there is a kitchen/breakfast room with aga, utility and downstairs cloakroom.
The cottage gardens are a major feature of the property and there are a number of outbuildings, currently used as home offices and a studio, as well as a large garage and drive.
This is the first time that Pond Cottage has come to the market in 33 years, so it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in this iconic property.
