DESCRIPTION
2 Bridge Cottages, originally a small period cottage, has been largely extended and offers potential for reconfiguration and further extension (subject to all necessary consents). The property now requires complete modernisation and updating throughout to create a wonderful family home. The windows are mainly double glazed and the heating is a combination of electric storage heaters and radiators via a log burner back boiler, which also provides hot water (not tested).

The front door opens into a small porch and leads into the dining room, which has an abundance of character features, a log burner back boiler and wooden mantel inscribed ‘1822’, and is the oldest portion of the property. Beyond the living room, is the kitchen/breakfast room and a downstairs bathroom with separate cloakroom, which forms part of the rear extension and gives access to the garden. The bathroom could be relocated upstairs and this space adapted to create a utility room. The sitting room, which forms part of the side extension, has a window to the front and double doors to the kitchen/breakfast room with stairs to the first floor.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and the third single bedroom, which could become a first-floor bathroom, offers access to the loft space (not inspected).

OUTSIDE
On approaching the cottage, you will immediately notice the generous, gated driveway, which could be extended. The double garage is brick built and is in need of some improvement.

The garden, with its own well, wraps around the front, side and rear and requires some thoughtful landscaping. There is a greenhouse positioned in the far left hand corner of the rear garden and in the other corner a garden shed, which is in poor condition.
