Originally two separate dwellings, Pond House is a magnificent period property formed of a brick and thatched cottage and a larger Edwardian house with attractive mock Tudor timber design. Situated within one of the largest plots in Great Bradley, the former village pond sits within its gardens and the property enjoys a peaceful location at the edge of the village, surrounded by open countryside.

Greatly extended and altered over the years, the current owners purchased the property in 2003 and have carried out a full programme of refurbishment and renovations. In 2009, they further extended to the rear elevation to create a superb kitchen/dining room featuring glazed bi-fold doors which enjoy the vista over the beautiful and expansive gardens. The refurbishment works have been carried out sympathetically and to an exceptional standard, with great care given to retain the numerous period features this character house has to offer. Featuring a modern and well planned layout that seamlessly flows from room to room, Pond House is a stunning and versatile family home which extends to an impressive 5,139 sq ft (447 sq m) and offers potential purchasers the opportunity to acquire a special and unique home set in a wonderfully private and secluded location.
