Pound Cottage, a two-bedroom brick and flint property is nestled in a lovely spot in the medieval hamlet and is currently on the market for a guide price of £525,000. Selling agents Carter Jonas said: “This idyllic cottage offers an array of charming features throughout from original flooring to unusual pargetting, fine fireplaces and exposed honey-coloured timbers”.
Also included in the sale is a detached studio, which is positioned in the grounds of the cottage and could be converted subject to planning permission.
The traditional style of Pound Cottage is evident from the moment you step into the entrance hall and utility, which features a slate floor and built-in cabinets. Adjacent to this is a large family bathroom with a bath sat in an arched alcove and with pargetting above.
Off the entrance is the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy space with parquet flooring, a beamed ceiling and a stable door to the outside. It is fitted with oak units and worktops, a butler sink and an inset solid-fuel Rayburn cooker.
The sitting room also enjoys double aspects and exposed beams, as well as an exposed brick inglenook fireplace and log burner creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. A useful study/home office is found to the rear of this room and could be used as a third bedroom if desired.
Upstairs, a landing area leads to two generous double bedrooms with exposed floorboards and fitted wardrobes. A cloakroom with WC and hand wash basin completes the first floor.
Outside, incredible cottage-style gardens surround the property and boast beautifully landscaped and well-stocked beds with paths and borders weaved throughout. There are also areas of lawn in which to sit and take in the relaxing floral displays.
Raised flower beds and a brick-block path lead you from the front to the rear, where a wooden summer house and seating areas are located.
Further around through a hedge archway is a ‘secret’ rose garden, which brings you back to the front of the cottage.
The front has parking for three cars and is also where the and the detached flint studio is found. A cast iron electric radiator provides full heating and Carter Jonas said the studio has potential to be easily converted into a fully independent annexe for guests or as a holiday let, subject to the relevant permissions.
