DESCRIPTION
Pound Cottage is an enchanting Garde II Listed period house believed to date to the early 1900's. having been a cherished family home for many years, it is fair to say that the property would now benefit from general updating and improvement but does off the potential for discerning purchasers to create an exceptional home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. It is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.

Behind the attractive double fronted ragstone façade which is festooned with a magnificent mature wisteria, the accommodation exudes charm and character throughout. It is of particularly comfortable proportions and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room with parquet flooring and cosy woodburning stove, to the opposite side of the hallway is the dining room leading to the kitchen beyond which is the rear lobby and cloakroom. On the first floor there are three comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom. Accessed from the principal bedroom is a secondary staircase leading to the particularly useful attic room.

Outside there is off road parking for a vehicle before the attached garage. The main garden lies to the side of the house enjoying a southerly aspect and with an expanse of lawn, pretty ornamental pond and mature hedge affording a great deal of privacy. There is then additional space to the rear of the house and an upper level of lawn and shrubs.
