DESCRIPTION

Believed to date back to around 1610, with later additions during the 18th century, this charming timber-framed period home offers a wonderful sense of history and character. Lovingly owned by the current custodians since 2002, the property enjoys an enviable setting overlooking the village pond, where ducks and local wildlife provide a picturesque and ever-changing outlook. Distinctive architectural features, including a glazed pantile roof, exposed timbers and a variety of original details, reflect the property’s long and fascinating heritage. Pond Farm is listed in Pevsners “Buildings of England” as a notable example of a timber framed farmhouse

The accommodation begins with a practical boot room, complete with French doors opening directly onto the garden, providing an ideal everyday entrance to the home. This leads through to a utility room fitted with built-in cabinetry, a butler sink, tiled flooring and plumbing for laundry appliances. A particularly useful feature is the walk-in open larder, offering excellent additional storage.

The kitchen enjoys attractive views over the rear garden and features solid French oak flooring, exposed beams and a range of built-in cabinets. A butler sink, integrated dishwasher and Falcon LPG range cooker create a well-equipped cooking space, complemented by a dedicated recess for a fridge-freezer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious breakfast room, forming a bright and sociable open-plan living area with triple-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light. Within the ceiling is a fascinating coffin hatch, a rare historical feature reflecting the property’s early origins, while a charming window seat with storage beneath enjoys views across the village pond to the front.

A hallway with a solid Oak front door and solid French Oak flooring links the kitchen area with the remainder of the ground floor and provides access to a shower room with walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. At the heart of the home is the dining room, a characterful double-aspect space featuring exposed timber beams, mixed west African hardwood flooring (teak, mahogany and Sapele) and a striking inglenook fireplace with open fire, creating a warm and atmospheric setting for entertaining. The sitting room is equally inviting, again enjoying a double aspect and retaining exposed beams together with a second inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. To one side, cleverly designed built-in cabinetry with drawers provides discreet and practical storage.

The first-floor landing is a particularly striking feature, extending along much of the length of the property and rich in character with exposed beams. Three windows allow natural light to flood the space, enhancing the sense of history and openness. The principal bedroom enjoys a delightful double aspect with lovely views and retains attractive exposed beams together with a Stuart fireplace, adding to the room’s period charm. A small en suite cloakroom provides a wash hand basin and WC. An adjacent bedroom overlooks the rear garden and also features exposed beams and another Stuart fireplace, giving the room a distinctive historic character.

There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one enjoying views to the front of the property, while the rear-facing bedroom includes access to the historic coffin hatch, which can also be reached from the kitchen/breakfast room below. Completing the accommodation on this floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.

From the first-floor landing, two separate staircases rise to characterful rooms on the second floor. The smaller is currently used as a study, while the larger serves as a studio. Both provide flexible accommodation and could readily be adapted to create additional bedroom space if required.

OUTSIDE

Situated within an idyllic village setting, the property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, thoughtfully designed to offer both attractive outlooks and practical outdoor space. To the front, a well-maintained garden with specimen trees creates an appealing approach, while the house also enjoys a particularly charming aspect overlooking the village pond.

The main garden is accessed from the driveway, with the added benefit of a side gate providing right of access over the neighbouring property. A terrace adjoins the house, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views across the surrounding gardens. The grounds have been carefully arranged to include a raised vegetable garden—perfect for those wishing to grow their own produce—alongside a variety of well-planted borders and features that enhance the overall setting.

A detached double garage offers excellent parking and storage, complemented by an adjoining gym/studio, providing versatile space suitable for a home office, fitness area or creative studio. In addition, there is off-road parking for several vehicles.
