About
Situated on the outskirts of the village of Shere lies Ponds House.
The property is a truly wonderful opportunity to acquire superb family home with several outbuildings and a cottage, all of which offer a broad range of opportunities to create a long-term home in the Surrey Hills.
Ponds House is believed to date in part from the early 16th and 17th centuries and whilst restored in the 20th century the house and buildings would now benefit from refurbishment and modernisation.
Pond House is full of character features and is entered via a generous dining hall, above which there is a library which could be used as a study area, which leads through a wide archway to the sitting room with an open fireplace with brick hearth.
In addition, the house benefits from a magnificent, bright and light dual aspect drawing room with views over the grounds and gardens.
There is an excellent sized breakfast room and substantial kitchen, featuring a four oven gas fired Aga. In addition, there is a large utility/boot room and walk in pantry.
Attached to the utility room and forming part of the courtyard is a pair of garages.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom has a incredible views over the property's own land and also benefitting from an ensuite shower room; there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
On the second floor is a further bedroom and bathroom.
The Granary On the opposite side of the courtyard from the house is a charming granary believed to have been built circa 1840 with study, reception room, kitchen and bathroom.
The Cottage To the southeast of the house is the cottage being a bungalow comprising two bedrooms, kitchen, shower room and dining/living room.
