THE PROPERTY
EXCEPTIONAL AND IMPORTANT PERIOD VILLAGE HOME OF GREAT CHARACTER DATING FROM 1594 OFFERING SPACIOUS ACCOMODATION WITH ENCHANTING GARDENS AND SEPARATE KITCHEN GARDENS WITH DOUBLE GARAGE The Pound House is an extraordinary and unique period property, boasting a prestigious Grade II Listed status with origins that trace back to 1594. It holds the distinction of being one of the oldest residences within the village, with a history intertwined with the local community serving as a former book shop and the offices for the Brixworth local newspaper. This property is far from ordinary, exuding an abundance of character and charm, is particularly well-suited for larger families extending to 4,725 sq ft and even offers the potential for a separate annex, should that be desired. Upon entering the property, you're welcomed by two distinct sitting rooms each featuring a captivating fireplace and exposed beams that add to the charm. These reception areas also provide access to the rear gardens, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. From here, the journey continues into the library, creating a cosy and quiet corner, before leading into the family room which boasts an open staircase that ascends to the first floor. From here there is further access into the barn/billiard room, which promises ample space for leisure and entertainment. On the other side of the property, you'll find the distinctive kitchen/breakfast room which is characterized by a range of base and wall cupboards, a central Aga stove standing as a focal point. The kitchen's character is undeniable and adds to the overall charm of the property with a dedicated breakfast area. Complementing this floor is a convenient downstairs cloakroom and two additional staircases that provide access to the first-floor accommodations. Moving to the first floor, there is a master bedroom alongside an adjacent bathroom. Additionally, there are three more bedrooms and a separate shower room.
