The original part of Paunceford Court is believed to date back to the 1600s and has been extended over the years to provide substantial accommodation. The entrance porch has brick flooring which leads into the reception hall which has the original oak staircase and flagstone flooring. There are a wealth of period features from the beautiful exposed beams to latch doors, from the sash windows to the deep skirting boards, which all add to the property's character, warmth and charm. The kitchen has an array of units in pine, painted in a lovely warm sage, which are complemented by a double white ceramic sink and a red Aga. There is a gas hob, an integral dishwasher and ample space for an American style fridge freezer and a table and chairs. There is also a walk-in pantry and a separate utility room with a double oven and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The snug, which leads off from the kitchen, has quarry tiled flooring and makes a fantastic family room. A wood burning stove lies nestled underneath an inglenook fireplace where the original pot crane resides. Three steps lead you to the spacious drawing room where there is a large open fireplace. Across the rear hallway lies the day room which has a decorative brick open fireplace. All major reception rooms give wonderful views to the gardens and the lake. Paunceford Court has two staircases. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities and walk-in wardrobes. The family bathroom has exposed floorboards and to the landing there is an airing cupboard. There is also a lovely space on the galleried landing which would make an ideal reading area. On the second floor, there are a further three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property sits within beautiful grounds and paddocks of just under 12 acres. Paunceford Court has an extensive array of outbuildings and offers fantastic potential for those wishing to develop, if desired. There are three detached barns, extensive stabling with large workshop / storage, a detached office and an attached two storey kiln tower to the main residence. The family gardens gently wrap around the side and rear of the main residence where the garden is mainly laid to lawn. The centrepiece to the garden is undoubtedly the lake which creates a picturesque backdrop. Here you will see drakes and mallards. A weeping willow lies adjacent to the two tiered lake and there are an abundance of mature trees dotted here and there which include silver birch, copper beech and horse chestnut to name but a very few. Paunceford Court has ample parking and there is also a four bay car port.
