About this property

  • Cricketers Pond is an attractive detached period home, offering a really well-balanced living environment, with generous accommodation extending to just over 2,200 sq. ft. On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall providing access to an impressive c.24ft triple aspect sitting room with a beautiful bay window, large central fireplace, outlook over the gardens, in all providing a superb space for entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted cupboards and drawers, overlooking the rear garden, and is open plan through a breakfast room. From the kitchen, is a door providing access to a range of adjoining stores. A well proportioned dining room provides a great space for more formal entertaining, and a cloakroom completes the ground
    floor accommodation. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

    OUTSIDE
    The property is approached over a long, gravelled driveway leading to a parking area for ample vehicles. The gardens of
    Cricketers Pond are a real feature of the property and extend in all to approximately 1.39 acres. To the side of the property is a beautiful terrace which provides a seating area ideal for outdoor entertaining. To the rear of the property is an expanse of level lawn, beautifully landscaped and bordered by stunning mature trees. Beyond the formal garden is a large section of open paddock land, again bordered by mature hedges and trees. It is quite evident that a great deal of time and effort has been invested in creating the gardens, which provide a fantastic backdrop to the property.

    Whilst the property is in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout, it clearly has great potential to offer a fabulous living environment with an abundance of charm and character, well-balanced accommodation, beautiful grounds, in a very special location.
