Description
Pound Cottage is a spacious four-bedroom detached house with rendered and colour washed elevations under a pitched tiled roof.  It was built in the 1980s, and the current vendors are only the second occupiers of the property. Pound Cottage is beautifully recessed from the road and sits in approximately 1.13 acres of immaculately maintained gardens, thereby benefitting from a huge degree of privacy.  As an individual build, the property offers spacious accommodation and comprises entrance hall, reception hall, dual-aspect sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and downstairs cloakroom.  On the first floor are a galleried landing, principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.  The property has an attached double garage.  The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a selection of established trees, shrubs and a landscaped area to the rear.  The front garden was formerly a tennis court and could be reinstated if desired.  Pound Cottage offers an incoming purchaser a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an established property on a generous plot in the centre of the village, with the chance to put their own mark upon the dwelling.  The property benefits from being mostly double-glazed and having oil-fired central heating.
