Bridge Street, Wistow

This charming and substantial period home within the village conservation area offers spacious, adaptable four-bedroom accommodation. Formerly a village public house which closed in the 1950s, the property retains a wealth of character and a strong sense of history, creating a unique and welcoming home.

The house stands within generous, mature and private gardens, providing a peaceful and secluded setting with ample off-road parking. A particularly attractive feature is the open-fronted car port, which offers excellent potential to be incorporated into the main accommodation, subject to the usual consents, or alternatively to provide covered entertaining space, garaging or workshop potential.

Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and adaptable, well-suited to modern family living while retaining much of the charm and character expected of a period village property. The principal reception rooms offer comfortable and flexible living spaces, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining, with pleasant outlooks over the gardens. The kitchen and adjoining areas provide the heart of the home, offering scope for further enhancement or reconfiguration to suit individual requirements.

The main house provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, arranged over the upper floor, offering excellent flexibility for family use, home working or guest accommodation. The property also offers excellent potential to create a self-contained annex, with existing accommodation including a ground floor bedroom and shower room that could be adapted to suit multi-generational living, guest accommodation or independent living for a relative, subject to any necessary consents. This flexible space provides an ideal opportunity to tailor the layout to changing family needs or lifestyle requirements, while remaining connected to the main house.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight — mature, well-established and offering a high degree of privacy, with various areas for outdoor dining, relaxation and recreation. The grounds provide an attractive setting for the house throughout the seasons, with plenty of space for families, keen gardeners or those simply seeking a peaceful village retreat.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful village home with an interesting history, generous gardens, ample parking, a self-contained annex and further potential for enhancement via the charming cart barn. The property combines heritage, space and flexibility in a highly sought-after conservation area location, making it ideal for families, multi-generational living or those seeking a distinctive country home with scope to add value.
