A beautifully curated detached cottage with large studio and pretty cottage gardens, situated in an enviable setting within this well-placed village.

Property (1,259ft2)
Situated within a semi-rural and well-regarded village, Pound Cottage is a beautifully presented detached cottage, built of traditional construction with attractive brick-and-flint elevations under a thatched roofline. The property is believed to date back to the 16th-century and understood to be owned by Kings College Cambridge until the 1960s.

The cottage is graced with charming original features, to include a fine exposed timber-frame and internal brickwork, some lovely original floors and unusual interior pargetting. These lovely features are cleverly accentuated by a modern gas-fired heating system and hard-wood timber windows.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to almost 1,300ft2 comprising a reception hall/utility room with stable-door, exposed brick walls, traditional style storage units with butler sink, slate floor and plumbing for washing machine. The ground-floor bathroom has exposed brick walls, a modern white suite with low level WC, wash basin and bath.

The kitchen enjoys a double aspect, with door to the gardens, and fitted with a stylish range of oak-fronted base units with matching worktop, butler sink, solid-fuel Rayburn inset to the inglenook fireplace and attractive painted parquet flooring.

The sitting room also enjoys a double-aspect, with attractive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove on brick hearth, steps to a study, with interesting painted brickwork and pargetting, window to the side and glazed doors to the garden.

On the first floor is a landing area with exposed chimney breast, first-floor WC and two double bedrooms, both with exposed painted floorboards and fitted wardrobes.

Studio (237ft2)
The original garage has been beautifully restored, creating a large studio/workspace (pictured bottom-right) with brick-and-flint elevations with slate roof, exposed internal brick walls and painted floors, enjoying a good deal of natural light and perfect for those seeking a private space away from the cottage.

Outside
Pound Cottage sits central in its pretty cottage gardens, approached from the lane onto a hard-standing driveway providing parking for three cars. The front and side gardens have been landscaped with a mix of attractive brick block-paving, planted and gravelled areas and path leading around to the main garden, which enjoys a southerly orientation and has been beautifully designed and planted, with a variety of shrubs, box hedging and trees, summer house and store.
