WELCOME TO POND COTTAGE
Hidden away in the peaceful Hertfordshire hamlet of Chapmore End, Pond Cottage is a beautifully restored period home where timeless English character meets understated luxury.
Overlooking the village pond and surrounded by open countryside, the cottage has been lovingly renovated to preserve its historic charm while offering every modern comfort. Original oak beams, exposed brick fireplaces and centuries of history sit effortlessly alongside elegant interiors, luxurious furnishings and beautifully designed living spaces.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family holiday or a gathering with friends, Pond Cottage offers the rare opportunity to experience authentic English village life in complete comfort.
A Home DESIGNED FOR LIVING
Pond Cottage isn't simply somewhere to stay—it's somewhere to truly settle in.
With several beautifully designed living areas, there's space for everyone to relax in their own way. Spend the morning with coffee overlooking the garden, gather around the dining table for long lunches, curl up beside the fire with a book or enjoy an evening film together in the garden room.
Every space has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, welcoming and effortlessly elegant.
Beautiful SPACES to reLAX
One of the things guests love most about Pond Cottage is that there is room for everyone to spread out, relax and enjoy the house in their own way.
Whether you're gathering together over dinner, curling up with a good book, enjoying a film, or simply taking in the garden views, every room has been thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming, comfortable and effortlessly elegant.
THE SITTING ROOM
At the heart of the cottage lies the inviting sitting room, where centuries-old oak beams and a traditional inglenook fireplace create an atmosphere of warmth throughout the year.
On cooler evenings, light the wood-burning stove, sink into one of the comfortable sofas and enjoy the simple pleasure of spending time together after a day exploring the countryside.
THE READING NOOK
Just beyond the fireplace is one of our favourite corners of the house.
Comfortable armchairs, soft lighting and peaceful surroundings make it the perfect place to lose yourself in a good book, enjoy a quiet conversation or simply watch the fire burn low.
Sometimes the best moments are the quietest ones.
THE DINING ROOM
Bright, elegant and overlooking the gardens, the dining room is made for lingering.
Whether it's breakfast before setting off for the day, afternoon tea with family or an evening meal that stretches long into the night, the round dining table naturally brings everyone together.
Flooded with natural light and framed by views of the gardens, it's one of the most welcoming rooms in the house.
THE GARDEN ROOM
Bathed in natural light beneath its vaulted ceiling, the garden room offers a completely different atmosphere. Large windows and French doors blur the line between indoors and out, creating a peaceful retreat throughout the seasons.
Watch a film on the Smart TV, enjoy family games, or simply relax with the doors open on warm summer afternoons as the garden becomes part of the house.
Beautiful bedrooms
Each bedroom has been individually furnished with luxurious bedding, soft linens and carefully chosen furnishings.
Large windows frame views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, while calming colours and natural textures create peaceful spaces in which to relax and unwind.
