With EXPOSED BEAMS, an INGLENOOK FIREPLACE and a wealth of TASTEFULLY CHOSEN CONTEMPORARY FINISHING TOUCHES, North Pound Cottage exudes an UNDENIABLE AMOUNT OF CHARM. Encompassed by its IDYLLIC GARDENS in a HUGELY TRANQUIL SETTING on the edge of the PRETTY VILLAGE OF PLAISTOW, this EXCEPTIONAL HOME represents an OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF MODERN LIFE IN A PERIOD PROPERTY. Beautifully presented and sympathetically styled throughout to an IMPECCABLY HIGH STANDARD, its extensive layout and ANNEXE/STUDIO offers a first class WORK/LIFE BALANCE.

Step Inside

Conjuring the character of a bygone age, the exposed timber beams, exposed brickwork and heritage grey tones of the sitting room give a welcoming feel and set the tone for this family home. A magnificent inglenook fireplace supplies an instant wow factor and a truly wonderful focal point to a room that has a generous amount of space to spend time together. The rustic charm and character continues across the hallway in the exemplary family room and dining room, with underfloor heating, whose open plan layout looks out onto the surrounding greenery from every aspect. Beautifully light and bright, the rich tones of the wood floor stretch out providing a superb amount of versatile room to relax and entertain, contrasting with the crisp white walls that enhance the lovely flow of natural light. A stylish log burner is a well-chosen addition, and the wide French doors of the triple aspect dining area lead open onto a decked terrace that effortlessly extends this first rate room still further.

Generating a highly sociable and easy flowing layout, both the dining and sitting rooms lead into a large kitchen/breakfast room with its slate tiled floor, butler sink, Aga and sympathetically-styled solid wood cabinets and countertops. The adjacent utility room has space for your laundry appliances and access to the gardens and a convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs four equally well-presented bedrooms produce flexible family accommodation each benefiting from garden vistas. The notably sized double aspect main bedroom offers a calm and peaceful retreat, while a luxurious en suite shower room adds a contemporary twist with its superior opal metro tiles and countertop basin.
The wood floors continue in each of the three further bedrooms and whilst a fireplace adds a cosy finishing touch to one, another sits beneath the exposed beams of a vaulted ceiling that immediately gives an abundance of charm and character. Echoing the en suite with its refined glazed metro tile setting, the heritage suite of the family bathroom combines a freestanding roll top bath, a traditional high level WC and an eye-catching column radiator. Cleverly arranged to make a great use of space, the hallway easily accommodates a study area with plenty of fitted storage.

The property also benefits from fast fiber optic broadband.

Outside
Set back from the road behind its tall hedgerows, this superior residence enjoys a tremendous amount of tranquillity, encompassed by picturesque gardens approaching an acre in size, that border the stunning surrounding countryside. A decked terrace is a secluded spot for outdoor meals or to simply sit and soak up the landscape, and elegantly planted flowerbeds border the expansive lawns giving a classic English garden feel. A brick built annexe/studio with a cloakroom has a host of possibilities, and the large private driveway has off-road parking for several vehicles.
