Description
General Description
Bridge Cottage
The property provides gas central heating and hardwood double glazing. The well-laid-out living space is accessed via an oak entrance porch to the front door, leading to a tiled reception hallway with built-in cloak storage and stairs to the first floor.
The light-filled sitting room features French doors to a side courtyard area, an open fire, and double doors to additional living space. There is also a study, a ground-floor WC with a wash-hand basin, and a utility room with associated plumbing.
The hub of the home is the magnificent open-plan L-shaped kitchen, dining, and living area, with an exposed oak-framed structure housing full-height glazing and bi-fold doors opening onto the south-facing rear patio. There is a multi-fuel-burning stove and tiled flooring with underfloor heating. The room opens into a fully fitted kitchen with oak work surfaces and integrated appliances, including a Neff double oven and a five-ring gas hob.
The ground floor is completed with a double bedroom having an en-suite shower room, providing flexible living space.
The first-floor landing has two skylight windows, ample eaves storage and doors to all rooms. The main bedroom is quite simply stunning, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams, and a glass aperture at the gable end, featuring a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens. With generous built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath.
There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, each with built-in storage and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. Both rooms enjoy breathtaking views over the neighbouring field.
Gardens and Grounds
The property is offered for sale, including a 50% share of the neighbouring Old Hall field, which holds some historical interest. The field extends to approximately 13 acres and currently has licensed grazing for sheep being rented out to a local farmer for peppercorn rent. The inclusion of this provides new owners with protected views over the countryside, which is one of the standout features of this home.
The property is approached via a bridge over the village brook and has a tarmac drive with further stoned car parking. There is gated access to the front door and rear gardens.
The main garden extends to approximately 0.4 acres and enjoys a south-facing aspect. To the rear, there is a flagstone patio, making a perfect space for entertaining and alfresco dining, with landscaped timber sleepers and steps leading up to a mainly lawned garden. There are well-stocked borders with a variety of shrubs, various apple, pear, quince and damson trees and several secluded seating spots under established, mature trees. There is fencing along the boundaries, with a single-brick stable.
