About 3.5 acres Directions (RG9 5QG) From Henley-on-Thames, leave town on the A4130 (The Fairmile/ Oxford Road). Continue to Nettlebed (about 4 miles) and at the 1st roundabout turn left onto the B481 signposted Highmoor/Peppard. After 1.4 miles turn right at Highmoor Cross and proceed past the hamlet of Witheridge Hill on towards Stoke Row. Cox’s Lane will be found on the right in the centre of the village close to the village shop. Proceed down the lane and the entrance gates will be marked on the left after about 100 yards.
Situation Pond House occupies a superb situation combining the best of village life with a rural country setting, within a short walk of the village shop/cafe, garage, the highly rated Cherry Tree public house and award winning restaurant, The Crooked Billet. Stoke Row has a village primary school, and Cox’s Lane offers access to miles of riding and walking in the Chilterns. Henley-on- Thames (7 miles), Wallingford (7.5 miles) and Reading main line station (9 miles) mean that it is very well connected. The area is renowned for good primary and secondary schooling including Moulsford House Preparatory School, Cranford House, The Oratory, Pangbourne College, and access to the Abingdon and Oxford schools via various bus services from the Nettlebed area.
Description Pond House was bespoke built for a previous private client and designed to a very exacting standard with an exceptional finish throughout. The current owners have made some exciting changes which include impressive soft furnishing improvements internally, the conversion of the original garage block to ancillary accommodation for staff/friends and the inclusion of a garden outbuilding for gym/office use. The house provides 3,800 sq ft of very stylish accommodation, presented as 4 bedrooms with 3 bath/ shower rooms. Bedroom 5 was converted to a dedicated dressing room but could easily be reinstated as a bedroom.
The detached double garage has been converted in the last 3 years to provide high quality staff accommodation, with fully fitted kitchen, ancillary to the main house.
The internal arrival in Pond House is very striking, with a substantial open plan entrance hall, reception hall and dining hall leading to the open plan, vaulted kitchen/breakfast room. There is an abundance of natural light, and the outlook across the Nettlebed Estate is very beautiful.
The high quality Roundhouse designed kitchen/breakfast room includes sub-zero fridge and freezer drawers, Wolf gas hob, Gaggenau ovens, microwave and coffee machine. The formal dining area has a raised corner fireplace and bifold doors that open onto a wide rear terrace, and around the house the internal rooms connect well to the exterior terraces. The original drawing room has been partitioned to create a snug/ television room for children with a pleasant sitting room off the hall. The additional ground floor reception room enjoys extensive views over the surrounding countryside. The impressive master bedroom suite benefits from a newly fitted en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom suite enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, and there is a large impressive family bathroom refitted in the last 3 years, with 2 additional bedrooms and the 5th bedroom/dressing room (currently bespoke fitted as a high quality dressing room). The gardens To the south of the house there are large private gardens with mature boundaries affording great privacy, and there is a good long gravelled drive approach.
The mature and lightly wooded grounds of Pond House are delightful. They amount to about 3.5 acres and the house sits very well in the centre of the plot. There is a sweeping gravel drive approach that rises gently to a wide gravel parking and turning area to the front of the house and beside the annexe. To the front of the house gently sloping lawns with gravel paths between, enjoy various herbaceous borders and planted beds, with a number of specimen trees and garden pond. Beyond the lawn the garden becomes informal with a revolving summerhouse towards the northern boundary. There are wide terraces to the south side of the house including a decked terrace outside the kitchen/breakfast room, and a wide al fresco dining area complete with fireplace and seating perfect for outdoor entertaining.
