5 bedroom village house

The property has abundant character, from exposed timber beams and brickwork to handsome fireplaces. The property has undergone a series of works under the current ownership, and the finish is outstanding.

One enters the property via an entrance hall with a downstairs cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is a delightful sitting room full of light with a feature fireplace and bi-fold doors to the rear patio and gardens.

The hub of this home is sure to be the beautiful open-plan kitchen/breakfast/living area, which is a superb space to entertain. The kitchen area comprises a range of wall and base units beneath a granite worktop and a central island, and a range of integrated appliances, including a wine chiller, double fridge, double freezer, dishwasher, microwave and Range cooker. Off the kitchen area is a contemporary family room with a log burner, and from here, steps lead up to a bar area with double doors to the garden. There is also a valuable and spacious utility room.

On the first floor is an enviable principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The principal suite is accessed via a different room, currently used as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, but which could lend itself perfectly to a nursery or study. There are three further bedrooms, all of a good size, and a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

Bridle Cottage has a large driveway that provides parking for several cars and gives access to the garage block, comprising a single and double garage. To the front of the property is a neatly landscaped, lawned fore garden with a low-level wall fronting the road and a paved pathway leading to the front door.

Situated above the garaging and accessed via an external staircase is a generous one bedroom apartment with an open plan kitchen/dining/living room, double bedroom and shower room. The apartment lends itself well to an extended family or as guest accommodation. Alternatively, if one were looking for a property with a potential rental income, this apartment has planning permission for a holiday rental.

The property has a sizeable garden to the rear with a wide range of mature trees and shrubs. A sunken patio with a pergola is ideal for entertaining and is a sheltered sun trap with steps rising to the garden area. A second patio area with an outdoor covered barbeque area is located within the formal garden. Post and rail fence separating the garden from the paddock, providing an idyllic outlook.
