Bridge End House, Birkin

**BRIDGE END HOUSE**

Bridge End House, a stone-built barn conversion, boasts four excellent bedrooms and generously light-filled living spaces, providing an ideal setting for family life in the countryside. Nestled in the quiet Yorkshire countryside, within the hamlet of Birkin, the home sits under the watchful gaze of the 12th-century church. Make your way across the graveled track and park up in the private driveway, where there is plenty of room for four or five cars and infrastructure for an EV charging point. The garage is boarded and insulated to create a usable space, ideal for a gym or workshop. There is also a covered carport at the side.

A warm welcome
The double doors to the front open up into the entrance hallway, bathed in natural light from the fanlight above the door and the ceiling which towers up to the gallery landing above. There is space for a reading nook or small study area and to the right a useful W/C.
In the middle of the property is a formal dining room, with access into the family kitchen, making an open flow through the property, which is ideal for hosting parties.

Lovely living spaces
At either end of the ground floor, you will find the main living spaces; one is a comfortable lounge with access via double doors into the kitchen. This room has been a fantastic way to offer teenagers a space of their own so that they can play games or watch their own TV shows. The second sitting room has an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with cast iron wood-burning stove for warmth and cosy corners to snuggle up in. 

Heart of the home
The farmhouse styling of the kitchen fits perfectly with the charm of the property. Light pours in through the skylights in the ceiling, between exposed roof trusses and beams. Cream wooden units are topped with granite and offer plenty of storage and workspace, as well as a wood-topped island in the centre. The range style electric cooker is there for you to prepare your favourite dishes and there is also an integrated Neff dishwasher and a fridge. Double doors lead out to the courtyard. The dining area shares this space, meaning the children can sit and do their homework while you’re preparing the food. On larger social occasions, you can host a dinner party without the chef for the night being segregated.

Space for muddy boots
Doubling up as another entrance, the utility is the most frequently used way into the home, with space for muddy boots after your country walks. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer, built into cream units, topped with granite and includes a stainless steel sink.
Finally, on the ground floor, there is an office positioned at the rear of the property. This room offers the perfect place to work from home being away from the hustle and bustle of the main living spaces.

The character continues 
The master bedroom is spacious, sitting above the lounge and mirroring its size. Unique features in this room include arrow-slit windows and the original hayloft door for added charm. The en-suite is partly tiled and having a large double shower with a wash hand basin and W/C.
Bedrooms two and three are both of a good size and have those charming exposed roof trusses. An en-suite shower room to bedroom two makes this a perfect room for guests or an older child.
The final bedroom on this floor has a ladder that gives access to a mezzanine floor. Every child will fight over this room with this feature cosy den to climb up to. 

Soak away
The family bathroom has a fitted bathtub complete with a W/C, pedestal hand basin and heated towel rail. The walls are tiled halfway and the décor is neutral throughout creating a calming ambience.

A garden to cherish 
This home has plenty of reasons to fall in love and lots of space to suit your family dynamics, however one thing that stands out is the garden. The gardens are private and enclosed by hedges and stone walls. Facing south is the terrace, a sun trap where you can enjoy alfresco lunches in the midday sun. The lawn extends to the side of the property, which faces west. Here, abundant fruit trees ripen throughout the summer until they are ready to harvest in autumn and turn into fruit pies and jams. A separate area with a greenhouse and a wooden shed is ready for you to grow your own veg.
