Description

Old meets new at Kirby Bridge Cottage, where a chic contemporary home blends perfectly with the character and rural location of this special property. Here you will have the most wonderful views from every room. The setting is intriguing; set in .40 of an acre, it is idyllic and tucked away from a road and not easily found - with breathtaking views of the countryside, the Cleveland Hills, Roseberry Topping and Captain Cooks Monument, and yet it is only 1 mile from Stokesley School. With a design similar to a long house, the ground floor offers formal and informal spaces, which combined provide every type of room a family or couple could need. The interior decoration is inspired and it is unlikely that you will feel you need to do anything other than just move in, buy some chickens and look at the views. There are two staircases at Kirby Bridge Cottage and this means you have the opportunity to use the abundance of first floor rooms to suit your lifestyle. For example, one staircase could service a master bedroom wing with master bedroom en suite, dressing room, study and sitting/sewing room. The other staircase would then service four bedrooms, the family bathroom and the shower room. Whatever your lifestyle, Kirby Bridge Cottage will mould itself to suit you and provide a welcoming home, perfect for entertaining, working from home and/or bringing up a family.
