Description
Pound Farm Cottage is a charming thatched cottage which according to its grade II listing dates from the 17th century. The accommodation covers some 2440 sq.ft, which includes a later gault brick addition which is probably mid-to-late 19th century. The reception rooms are all notably well-proportioned which includes the formal dining room which forms part of the later addition. The core of the cottage displays numerous features of its period, which includes exposed beams and studs, as well as a notable fireplace to the main sitting room. The first floor provides a galleried landing with two particularly well-proportioned bedrooms and a single front bedroom; all of which are served by a family bathroom.
Pound Farm Cottage is approached over a shared hardstanding driveway, with off-road parking for three vehicles available to the south of the property. The principal garden is chiefly to the side and rear, which is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of mature trees and herbaceous borders. The far eastern area features a pond with bridge over and a further expanse of lawn. Outbuildings include a potting shed, workshop and wood store.
Location Pound Farm Cottage is located on the southern outskirts of the small hamlet of Milden. Milden enjoys close links to the nearby village of Lavenham which is regarded as one of the finest medieval settlements in Britain, with its wealth of period houses, famous church and of course the National Trust Guildhall in the Market Place. Notwithstanding its fame, Lavenham is a thriving community with a broad selection of shops and services. The market town of Sudbury which is about 7 miles south provides a commuter rail link to London Liverpool Street. The cathedral town of Bury St. Edmunds is about 16 miles north.
