A charming and beautifully maintained countryside cottage, enjoying far-reaching rural views, a private garden, detached garage and off-road parking, all within easy reach of Newmarket.

Bridge Cottages is a quintessential countryside home that perfectly combines character, charm and practicality. Meticulously maintained by the current owners, the property retains a wealth of attractive period features while offering comfortable and well-appointed accommodation arranged over two floors.

Set in an idyllic rural position, the cottage enjoys far-reaching countryside views to the front and an enviable sense of privacy and seclusion. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently positioned for access into Newmarket, with the town centre just a short cycle away. Excellent transport links via A14/A11 also provide convenient access towards Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Ely.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the property is particularly well positioned, with a local bridleway immediately accessible from the property, opening up a wonderful selection of countryside walks and cycling routes. A short distance away in the village of Snailwell is The George & Dragon, a popular local public house with a large garden and relaxed country-pub atmosphere, together with the village church and further countryside walks.

Accommodation

Approaching the property, you are welcomed by a useful entrance porch, which leads into the impressive living/dining room. This beautifully inviting space is very much the hub of the home, enjoying an abundance of natural light and wonderful far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The room retains a lovely sense of character and features a log-burning stove, creating a warm and cosy focal point. Cleverly designed storage and a practical home-working desk have been incorporated around the staircase, making excellent use of the available space without compromising the character or flow of the room.

From here, the accommodation continues into the country-style kitchen, which provides a good range of wall and base-mounted units together with integrated appliances and a particularly useful large built-in larder/pantry cupboard. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to offer both practical storage and a pleasant working environment.

The kitchen in turn leads into the cleverly appointed conservatory, providing an additional reception space and a wonderful connection between the house and garden. From the conservatory, doors open directly onto the pretty rear courtyard garden.

First Floor

The first floor is equally impressive and has been thoughtfully adapted by the previous owners. Originally arranged as a three-bedroom property, the wall between bedrooms two and three has been removed to create two particularly spacious double bedrooms.

Both bedrooms offer excellent proportions, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and wardrobe space.

Completing the first floor is a clean, tidy and practical family bathroom suite.

Outside

The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The partially elevated garden provides a burst of colour from the young flowers and established shrubs, while a selection of raised beds and patio seating areas create a number of pleasant spaces in which to sit, relax and enjoy the birds singing.

At the far end of the elevated section of the garden, the railway line passes nearby. Trains currently pass approximately three times per day, providing a distinctive reminder of the property's convenient position and excellent transport connections.

To the front, the property benefits from a detached oversized single garage together with an off-road parking space. There is also ample additional parking available nearby for guests and visitors.

Further Features

The property is uPVC double glazed throughout, with the attractive olive-shaded windows to the front aspect having been replaced in recent years. The current owners have also recently installed a new electric boiler, providing further peace of mind for the incoming purchaser.
