VENDORS COMMENTS    Pond House is the most amazing, large family home. In our 22 years here it has given to us everything we have asked of it as a home, and more. In particular: there is space for us, space for young children and teenage children, space for young adult children, space for the older generation and now space for visiting children with grandchildren. And, not to mention space for parties, both inside, spread over the ground and lower ground floors, and outside in the large south facing garden. The layout is flexible and adaptable for a family that grows and changes and the rooms flow well from one to another. The garden is a relaxing place to be with a sense of nature and very often birdsong as a welcome addition.

Located halfway between Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden and close to Stansted, everything is convenient, including the airport and railway stations. In addition, rural is right there too! There are beautiful walks from the front door and the farm nearby has lambs and calves at the appropriate times of the year. There is a lovely old church and a woodland with beautiful bluebells in the spring nearby. By walking, cycling or using the local bus there are some great pubs to visit for a meal or an evening drink.

Patmore End itself is a friendly hamlet of 16 detached dwellings. Our neighbours are close by, without being intrusive. It’s a lovely community.

It’s now time for us to downsize as we move into our retirement years. Whilst that brings much for us to look forward to we will be shedding a tear over leaving Pond House.
