"Pound Cottage" is, in our opinion, a beautifully presented 5 bedroom, detached family home. The current owners have spared no expense when creating the accommodation and layout that you see now and as with any home, the kitchen/diner really is the heart of the home.

So what's on offer? With 4 double bedrooms and a great size single room upstairs, you will also benefit from a full size En-suite bathroom and further family bathroom. Downstairs will not disappoint either!

What is downstairs then? As you walk in to the hallway, we are sure you will be impressed with the sheer size and presentation of this initial space. There are gloss floor tiles, windows either side of the front door allowing plenty of light in and stairs to the first floor with useful storage under. A guest cloakroom is at the front of the house with handy built in storage cupboards and a white suite, don't miss the touch control mirror too. To the side of the hallway, via glazed French doors, is an impressive living room. This room is not only a great size but has the added benefit of twin French double glazed doors to the front and also the same to opening to the rear garden which makes the room so bright and allows the garden to flow straight from the room, great when entertaining.

You talk about a kitchen/diner? The owners have kept these 2 spaces open plan and you will see from the photos how big the room is as the current table allows seating for 10 and there is still space around it. The flooring continues from the hallway with large gloss finish tiles and the kitchen has an impressive range of matching wall and base unit with extensive worktop space, range cooker with extractor hood above and space for an American style fridge/freezer. There is an integrated dishwasher along with a washing machine and in the dining space a matching base unit hides 2 heated draws, great with keeping your plates warm when hosting a dinner party. Windows front and rear compliment the entire space and a set of French doors open to the patio area of the rear garden.

How big are the bedrooms? all 5 bedrooms are a great size with bedroom 5, currently the princesses bedroom, still a large single and 3 further doubles will impress we are sure. There is the main bedroom at the far end of the landing and being double aspect, that constant theme of space and light is present here as well. An En-suite bathroom finishes this room off perfectly and don't forget, there is a family bathroom for everyone else to enjoy along with a walk in closet housing the boiler on the landing.

Interested so far? Contact us today by phone, email or drop us a message on Facebook.

How big are the gardens? The front is a superb size with gravel driveway and lawn area benefiting from brick edging and a raised rockery. This is finished off with garden trellis and climber on one side, brick and stone wall on the other and a white picket fence complimented by a wrought iron set of gates to the parking area. There is a side gate which leads to the rear garden and this space is ideal for the bins and other items. The rear garden is set out with a good size lawn area and perfect patio area for relaxing on after a hard day's work.

Our overall thoughts? We absolutely love this home. It's a great size, very light and bright, beautifully presented, more than enough space for all of the family to enjoy and perfectly positioned for local amenities in the village. Don't forget the usual gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing which are an absolute must today.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very Low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
