Occupying the central section of the impressive Pond House, this exceptional two-bedroom residence forms part of an exclusive over-50s development, combining an abundance of period charm and architectural character with the convenience of modern-day living. Arranged over three floors, Number 2 benefits from the grand principal entrance of this historic building and showcases a wealth of original features, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, decorative ceiling roses, original fireplaces, a beautiful solid oak staircase and an attractive tiled entrance hall. Sympathetically converted whilst preserving the elegance and character of the original building, the property offers beautifully proportioned accommodation throughout, perfectly suited to those seeking a home rich in history without compromising on the comforts of contemporary living. The impressive entrance hall leads into a generous reception area, currently arranged as a formal dining hall, creating a wonderful first impression. Glazed double doors open into a delightful rear-facing garden room, where French doors provide direct access to the beautifully maintained communal gardens. The reception hall also gives access to the principal living room, kitchen/breakfast room and a stylish ground floor shower room, which also serves as a guest cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and elegant, fitted with a comprehensive range of modern wall and base units, integrated appliances and ample space for a dining table, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The living room is a particularly impressive space, flooded with natural light from three almost full-height rear-facing windows overlooking the gardens. A striking ornate fireplace with a cast iron and brass real-flame gas fire provides an attractive focal point, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate a variety of seating arrangements. A staircase leads down to a useful basement room, offering excellent additional storage. To the first floor, a delightful galleried landing overlooks the dining hall below and enjoys attractive views across the gardens. There are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes and private en-suite shower rooms, together with a useful walk-in storage room completing the accommodation. Externally, residents can enjoy the beautifully maintained communal gardens, providing a peaceful setting to relax and unwind. In addition, Pond Court, the neighbouring retirement development, is co-owned and managed alongside Pond House, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy a welcoming community atmosphere with access to a residents' lounge, guest suite and a range of communal facilities, should they wish. Exclusively available to those aged 50 and over, Pond House offers an ideal balance of independence, character and community living.
