Description

The charming stone and cob detached cottage is adjacent to the picturesque farm pond surrounded by trees. It lies in its enclosed garden with seating area and lovely views. The thick oak stable door takes you into the open plan triple aspect living room with massive oak beams, oak shutters, wood burner, comfortable sofas, 40" slimline TV/DVD player recorder, French door onto garden, underfloor heating, slate floor and an impressive heavy oak staircase.
The custom designed kitchen has granite floor, granite work surfaces with oak cupboards and an oak dining table. Upstairs under the exposed roof trusses there is another cozy seating area with HiFi and a lovely view of the ducks on the pond. All the flooring is waxed oak. Both double bedrooms have their own en suite facilities (shower, toilet and wash hand basin)and are spacious and light and very comfortable. Apart from casement windows the Velux windows have remote control black out blinds operated by solar power.
Further details
The 7 Kw Lorraine wood burner is the perfect way to heat the house (free logs & ample kindling from the wood shed). There is also electric underfloor heating downstairs for the winter months and programmable electric radiators in the bedrooms upstairs.
Further details outdoors
The farmhouse is surrounded by its own garden, arboretum, orchard and ancient pond which laps against the stone walls of the granary. Inside the granary is the old two screw cider press and crusher, used every autumn to make cider and apple juice from our 10 acres of orchard. You are welcome to participate in this activity. The cobbled court yard also contains the unique 18th century hen house still in use.We usually lamb our ewe in the Spring and you are welcome to have a look around the farm and to meet the lambs, ducks and geese.

“A hidden gem!”
Staying at Pond Cottage was exactly what we needed; beautiful surroundings with our cottage overlooking a lake filled with geese and ducks, lambs in the neighbouring fields and swallows swooping over our house. Renate and John were the perfect hosts and helped us with whatever we needed. The swimming pool was an added bonus as our sons really enjoyed swimming whilst surrounded by wonderful trees and fields! Would definitely visit again and would recommend if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay.
