The Property
Bridge House is a charming stone-built property with a host of original features including elegant Georgian sliding sash windows combined with thoughtful contemporary touches and high quality fixtures and fittings. The property has been thoroughly updated and beautifully maintained to create a lovely family home in a private location on the edge of a desirable Tyne Valley village. Set within gorgeous gardens with stone outbuildings and a path down to the river, Bridge House is an idyllic country village property.

A stone flagged garden path leads up to the open porch with built-in benches for sitting to remove muddy boots or taking in the view of the extensive cottage style garden. The hallway is light and bright, and leads into a sunny dual aspect sitting room with wood burning stove set within a traditional stone inglenook fireplace. The beautifully appointed kitchen is also dual aspect with exposed ceiling beams, solid oak flooring, contemporary Shaker style units, a Rangemaster Professional+ stainless steel range cooker set within an inglenook fireplace, Belfast sink and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen has ample space for a large dining table and chairs, as well as deep window seats that are perfect nooks to enjoy the handsome south facing views. A spacious and practical utility room to the rear provides additional storage, a further sink and plumbing for a washing machine, in addition to the walk in larder cupboard off the kitchen. The downstairs WC is a handy addition and an external door leads out to the rear of the house and the parking.

The elegant and relaxing principal bedroom to the first floor looks out over the garden and woodlands and boasts an attractive cast iron fireplace and a smart en-suite shower room. The two further bright bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding roll top bath and solid oak flooring.

Externally
Bridge House is accessed through a gated driveway providing private parking for several vehicles and a pathway around the house to the gardens. The expansive mature gardens are south and west facing, providing a wonderful space to relax, dine and entertain in the sunshine with a wooden summerhouse for those showers. Lawns interspersed with beech hedges, shrubs and herbaceous borders lead to access down to the riverbank, which includes riparian rights, and the eponymous bridge, as well as the walled kitchen garden. This area also houses a recently renovated detached stone bothy building with its own lighting and power source; ideal as a self contained studio/workshop, for storage, or potentially an annexe or home office. Three garden sheds are located in a stone-built outbuilding adjacent to the house, offering a potential footprint for extension from the main house, if required, subject to any necessary permissions.
