- Spacious family home with multiple living areas + large kitchen
- Super-fast Wi-Fi - great for streaming, remote work, or family movie nights
- 10 minutes to the motorway - country calm with city convenience
Set among lawns and open sky, The Pond House was made for connection and calm. Enjoy open-plan living with a wood-burning fire, a full kitchen overlooking the gardens, and a second lounge that flows to the pool deck for sunny afternoons and evening meals.
Upstairs, the master suite has peaceful views across the pond, a walk-in wardrobe, and private ensuite. Four additional bedrooms, two family bathrooms, and generous living spaces mean everyone has room to relax. Whether you’re hosting family gatherings or a quiet weekend away, the home blends comfort, nature, and privacy in one special place.
