Bridge Street, Wye, Kent

Dating from the 18th century, 79 Bridge Street is an attractive, painted brick, double-fronted family home offering almost 1,300 sq ft of light-filled and flexible accommodation arranged predominantly over two floors. The property sensitively combines period features, including casement and sash windows, with modern amenities and neutral décor throughout - creating an elegant yet practical space for family life and entertaining.

As is usual in properties of this age, the front door opens into a small entrance hallway. To the left is a sitting room with feature exposed brick fireplace with wood-burning stove and to the right is a wooden-floored dining/reception room with a walk-in storage area and an exposed brick chimney breast incorporating a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove.

Opening off the dining/reception room, the rear aspect galley kitchen has exposed wooden flooring and is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units with wooden work surfaces; there is a Belfast sink and modern integrated appliances. A door from here opens to a neighbouring rear porch/boiler room with a further door to the rear terrace.

The first floor offers a generous principal bedroom and an additional double bedroom with a cast iron fireplace. A contemporary bathroom adjoins the principal bedroom and includes exposed wooden flooring, twin sinks, a freestanding rolltop bath and a separate shower cubicle.

A cast iron spiral staircase rises from the principal bedroom to an L-shaped, vaulted second floor room with useful eaves storage, suitable for a variety of uses including as a dressing room or office, if desired.

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached direct from the pavement through a panelled front door and over a tarmac side driveway, which provides private parking and gives access to the detached garage. The garage has an internal door to the rear terrace.

A screened wrought iron pedestrian gate adjoining the garage opens to an enclosed rear garden which is laid mainly to raised level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds. There is a useful garden room/store and a neighbouring paved terrace, both overlooking the lawn. A separate paved rear terrace can be accessed from the rear porch/boiler room. The whole is screened by mature hedging and is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
