Kent End, Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire

Bridge Cottage is a detached four bedroom house which retains many original features and is well arranged for modern family living and entertaining. There are three well-proportioned reception rooms on the ground floor, including an excellent sized sitting room which has a log burner as well as French doors that lead directly onto the rear garden. A very useful study leads directly off from the dining room and has direct access to the front of the cottage. At the opposite end of the cottage is the farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room which has plenty of storage cupboards and an oil fired Aga. Upstairs, there are four good sized double bedrooms (all with fitted wardrobes), a shower room next to the main bedroom as well as a separate family bathroom and there are several loft hatches providing access to valuable additional storage.

Bridge Cottage is surrounded by its well-maintained gardens and the rear garden, which faces south west, provides a lovely secluded space in which to relax and entertain. There is a mature cooking apple tree, adjacent to the paved terrace, along with two garden sheds and a greenhouse. The front garden is immaculately kept and the footpath, flanked on one side by pleached apple trees, leads up to the front door. A large gravelled area provides ample parking for several cars.
