3 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

The Pound House is situated close to the cricket pitch on the edge of the village of Great Canfield, which is a scattered hamlet set amongst most attractive gently undulating countryside. This Grade II Listed property dates back to the early 18th century and is timber framed with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. There have been later sympathetic additions and in recent years, the current owners have undertaken a programme of modernisation including replacing the kitchen and bathrooms, works to plumbing, re-wiring, lining the chimneys and fitting wood burning stoves. The rooms have considerable character, the two reception rooms have fireplaces with wood burning stoves, oak flooring and exposed timbers. The kitchen has a good range of integrated appliances including a Redfyre range for cooking, heating and hot water. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a sizeable family bathroom.

Beside the house there is a two bay cart lodge and behind the house, a very well established garden with a magnificent walnut tree, shrub and herbaceous borders, an ornamental pond, vegetable garden and greenhouse. In addition, there is a second garage with a first floor storage area.
