About
A New England–inspired home of exceptional craftsmanship and warmth.
Old Pond House is a beautifully crafted New England–style residence arranged over three floors and standing on a plot of over half an acre (STLS).
Extending to approximately 4,200 sq ft, inclusive of the annexe, the property has been finished to an exemplary standard throughout, showcasing exquisite carpentry, superb natural materials and an outstanding open-plan living space that forms the heart of the home.
The rear living area is a true architectural statement, flooded with natural light via three roof lanterns, framed by arched windows and French doors, and dressed with remarkable bespoke woodwork and modern herringbone oak flooring.
This space flows seamlessly into a stunning Handmade Kitchens bespoke kitchen, creating a magnificent environment for everyday living and entertaining alike.
Underfloor heating serves the entire rear extension for year-round comfort.
Across the home, the attention to detail is remarkable: solid oak flooring in most rooms, Parisian-style mouldings and detailed plaster cornicing, cast-iron radiators, and bespoke cabinetry and storage to most rooms.
The formal lounge centres around a remarkable hand-carved custom Arabescato marble fireplace with remote-control gas fire - a dramatic focal point that immediately sets the tone of the room.
Security is equally impressive, with excellent systems in place, a steel, multi-locking front door, and twin electric entrance gates providing both privacy and a sense of arrival.
Accommodation Ground Floor: A large and welcoming entrance hall offers an immediate view through to the rear living space and garden beyond.
There is a useful utility room, downstairs cloakroom, and the beautifully appointed formal sitting room.

A generous second bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room, alongside a third bedroom and a spacious family bathroom.
Second Floor: Two additional bedrooms enjoy excellent fitted storage, served by a modern shower room.
Throughout the house, the use of curved arches adds charm, softness and a sense of bespoke craftsmanship.
The Studio/Annexe - Circa 700 sq ft A superb addition to the property, the self-contained studio/annexe is of oak frame construction with a striking vaulted ceiling and exposed joinery.
The main living area features a stunning brick fireplace, providing wonderful atmosphere and character.
