Pound Cottage

A timeless gem in the heart of Bramley.

Description

Designed by architects and inspired by the iconic style of Sir Edwin Lutyens, Pound Cottage was meticulously built on the site of the original cottage of the Beaurepaire Estate. Combining timeless charm with spacious, flexible living, this house is offered in excellent condition throughout.
Upon entering, there is an impressive reception hall, where an oak-panelled staircase leads to the stunning vaulted drawing room, featuring a galleried landing. The hall leads into the formal dining room, overlooking the front of the house, and the spacious sitting room, which enjoys views of the rear garden and features a charming log-burning stove and French doors leading to a delightful undercroft, supported by attractive brick pillars.

The dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a three-oven Aga and ample storage space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, offering additional storage. Off the inner hall, there are three generously sized double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom. This area could easily be adapted to create a self-contained annexe or additional reception rooms. The ground floor also offers a cloakroom, shower room, bathroom, utility room, and a boiler room.

On the first floor, is the stunning drawing room, as well as a fourth bedroom, a fifth bedroom/study, a bathroom, and a versatile craft room/store.

Outside

Pound Cottage is approached via a gated block-paved driveway, providing ample parking and access to a detached double garage.

The property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, mostly laid to lawn with well-established flower beds and shrub borders.

To the rear, the garden sits in around half an acre and enjoys a southerly aspect, offering a high degree of privacy and a peaceful outdoor retreat. The garden also features a lovely paved terrace – ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sunshine.
