Description
Pound Farm Cottage is a charming thatched cottage which according to its grade II listing dates from the 17th century. The accommodation covers some 2440 sq.ft, which includes a later gault brick addition which is probably mid-to-late 19th century. The reception rooms are all notably well-proportioned which includes the formal dining room which forms part of the later addition. The core of the cottage displays numerous features of its period, which includes exposed beams and studs, as well as a notable fireplace to the main sitting room. The first floor provides a galleried landing with two particularly well-proportioned bedrooms and a single front bedroom; all of which are served by a family bathroom.
Pound Farm Cottage is approached over a shared hardstanding driveway providing parking to the front of the cottage. (please refer to Agent’s Note below). The principal garden is chiefly to the side and rear, which is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of mature trees and herbaceous borders. The far eastern area features a pond with bridge over and a further expanse of lawn. Outbuildings include a potting shed, workshop and wood store.
Agent’s Note The parking at the property is granted via a Licence with the Grantor being the owners of Pound Farm House and the Grantees being the current owners of Pound Farm Cottage. It is understood that once Pound Farm Cottage has sold the parking Licence will be renegotiated with the owners of Pound Farm House.
