POND HOUSE

An exemplary, contemporary, family home sits in the heart of the village of Uffington close to its excellent primary school, just two miles from Stamford and three from the A1. The open plan interior is flooded with natural light and the connection with the garden is superb with vast sliding doors from both the kitchen diner and linked family room onto a porcelain terrace. The beautiful transformation from an older property, where top quality materials and fittings have been employed, was recently completed and now presents as a virtually brand new home.

The slate roof, with its wide dormer windows, was totally stripped and reconstructed, all the windows are new, double-glazed, black aluminium, the internal doors are painted black timber, the interior has been completely re-plumbed and re-wired and rooms are now expansive, light, airy and accommodating. The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating throughout with 1200 by 1200mm Porcelanosa tiles laid in the hall, kitchen diner, utility and boot room creating a seamless flow. The cinema room and the study have engineered parquet floor and the family room has brand new carpet. The kitchen diner with its wall of sliding glass doors with a seamless interface with the porcelain tiles on the terrace outside, is an immense space fitted with simple Shaker style, handmade, bespoke units with quartz worktops and a large, central island that incorporates a breakfast bar, with a double butler sink and boiling water tap. Integrated appliances include two under counter electric ovens and an induction hob above, two dishwashers, a fridge and a freezer. All the appliances are Neff’s top of the range. A utility room and a boot room lead off the kitchen either side, each with an abundance of fitted storage matching those in the kitchen, the utility with stone worktops, a sink and space for a washing machine and dryer concealed behind cupboard doors. Each room leads to the outside and the utility has a door into the integral double garage which benefits an automatic door to the front where there is an electric car charging point. The entrance hall has glazed doors both at the front and into the kitchen which increases the feeling of light and space and provides a wonderful vista all the way through to the garden beyond. A carpeted study or snug is off to the left, so too the almost 18 foot long sitting room or - as it is currently used – the cinema room. On the other side of the hall is a downstairs WC.

Up the carpeted stairs featuring black stair rods, the landing leads to all five double bedrooms with new carpeting, and the family bathroom. The beautiful, dual aspect master suite has not only an en suite shower but also a walk-in dressing area flanked by built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors for copious amounts of storage. The bedroom itself has a vaulted ceiling with rooflights as well as huge sliding doors in the gable end that face west over the rear garden for views of spectacular sunsets. Bedroom two also benefits an en suite shower, and the family bathroom accommodates a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. All the bathrooms are ultra-modern minimalist and all have Porcelanosa floor tiles and top luxury brand - with lifetime guarantees - Lusso Stone fixtures and fittings. Everything in the house is brand new with all the latest appliances, boiler and hot water cylinder. There is an instant hot water system, Wi-Fi is compatible throughout the house and everything is controlled by a Smart system with a mobile phone.
