Description
Canon Bridge House is an outstanding Grade II listed Georgian country residence nestled in the Herefordshire countryside. Arguably one of the finest homes in the county, it sits within an enviable plot with glorious far-reaching rural views. Principally built from mellow brick set under a Welsh slate roof, it reflects the architecture of the time with gracious classical proportions and symmetry.
Entered by way of a traditional reception hall, the accommodation flows beautifully and allows for comfortable modern-day living. The East Wing consists of a commanding dual aspect dining room, an inviting snug and a classically appointed country-style kitchen equipped with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances and an attractive island unit.
The quarters to the west wing are equally as striking. The formal drawing room is a delight, an integral part of the home with an abundance of character and charm it has a French door opening onto the garden terrace which affords pleasant views over the landscaped garden. In addition there is a further reception room, two dedicated studies, a fitted cloakroom and a highly useful boot-room. The cellar is of an excellent size and provides superb storage potential and has the benefit of a pedestrian door opening to the garden.
The first floor has an unrivalled selection of bedroom quarters, all of which are in beautiful decorative order and have their own unique characteristics. The bathrooms, of which there are four, are tastefully appointed with a comprehensive range of sanitary-ware together with two attractive free standing baths.
The ancillary accommodation is superb, with two notable dwellings. The beautiful redbrick cottage comprises a sitting room/dining room with an open plan kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In addition the fishing cottage offers: sitting room, bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom with the added benefit of a charming outside seating area and steps down to the River Wye.
The grounds are tremendously attractive and are a fabulous extension of the main residence. A discreet gated approach opens to a very substantial sweeping drive and in turn to the principal entrance. Laid to a manicured lawn, there are a host of deep-set herbaceous beds, decorative flowers, mature trees, shrubs, and plants. The east wing walled garden is particularly fetching with striking hedgerow, views over the adjoining paddock and the most inviting seating areas. The rear terrace affords attractive views over the principal garden which is laid to lawn and is bounded by hedgerow. The river Wye runs below the rear of the garden and makes for a truly beautiful setting. A host of activities await: fishing, canoeing, or a riverside swim are but a few. In addition there is a substantial paddock/field. There are a selection of outbuildings to include a charming Dovecote, two cast lodges, and a large storage room.
