The Cottage

Bridge Holding is a traditional, detached, three-bedroom estate cottage, having previously been let out by the Estate for many years. Inside, the property offers spacious accommodation with period features including cast iron fire grates. There is excellent potential for modernisation. The windows have been upgraded and replaced in the last seven years. The cottage is embraced by a sweeping lawned garden that evokes the charm of a traditional orchard, featuring mature fruit trees including apple, cherry and plum. There is also potential to reinstate the former vegetable garden, offering a wonderful opportunity for self-sufficiency and outdoor living. The property offers ample parking with a private gravel driveway, accessed via a wooden gateway off Baschurch Road. The property is surrounded by a mature hedge enhancing the feeling of privacy and seclusion.

The Traditional Stables

Positioned to the rear of the cottage and lawned garden, the traditional brick-built stables are conveniently connected via gated access to both the cottage and the driveway. The stable block comprises three individual stables and a dedicated tack room, fronted by a concrete yard. Two separate gateways lead directly from the yard into the grazing paddock, ensuring excellent functionality for equestrian use.

The Paddock

The grazing paddock lies beyond the traditional stable block and gracefully encircles the property, extending to the driveway and the hedgerow along Baschurch Road. This layout provides a sense of complete enclosure and privacy, perfectly complementing the property's rural setting. The paddock itself is level and securely fenced, having previously supported equestrian use. It offers excellent potential for continued grazing or alternative rural pursuits. The surrounding agricultural land remains under the ownership of the Estate, preserving the property's secluded character.
