5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in Upper Pond Street, Duddenhoe End

3 5 3 Floor Area: 7023ft²

A most attractive Grade II listed, five-bedroom, three-bathroom country house, offered to the market for the first time in over 35 years. Set amidst rolling countryside, this beautifully presented home enjoys an idyllic setting with mature gardens, a swimming pool, excellent ancillary accommodation and wonderful period charm blended with thoughtful modernisation.

The Accommodation

In detail the main house has been sympathetically extended and recently redecorated by the current owner to provide a generous and well-balanced layout across three floors, extending to approximately 4,782 sq. ft. At its heart lies a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, offering views to the front and direct access to the rear gardens. Leading off the kitchen is a spacious utility room, pantry, and cloakroom. The ground floor is full of character and charm, offering four elegant reception rooms in the older part of the house, perfect for both formal and informal gatherings. A particular highlight is the fabulous games/party room, which opens onto the swimming pool terrace—an ideal space for entertaining on a grand scale.

Upstairs, the wonderful triple aspect principal bedroom suite is complemented by four further bedrooms and two recently refurbished family bathrooms. 

The attic space on the second floor provides an excellent opportunity for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Discreetly positioned to the north of the main house and accessed via their own driveway, the two-bedroom semi-detached cottages are exceptionally well presented. Each cottage provides a kitchen/dining area, sitting room, and two bathrooms, and represent a valuable source of income or additional accommodation for family and guests. 

Outside

The property sits in approximately 4.2 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and paddock, which wrap around the house and enjoy far-reaching rural views. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, enhanced by mature specimen trees, herbaceous borders and well-established hedgerows. A large patio terrace spans the rear elevation and surrounds the heated outdoor swimming pool, offering an exceptional space for summer entertaining.

To the front, a sweeping gravelled driveway leads to a generous parking area, with access to a three-bay cart lodge, further outbuildings and an extensive grass field beyond.
