Bridge Cottage

Nestled within its pretty garden, Bridge Cottage is a prime example of a quintessential English country cottage, boasting many original features in a peaceful setting, accessed via a small bridge over a picturesque Brook.

The accommodation has much appeal, starting with the entrance hall with storage and its attractive exposed Suffolk brick floor leading to a stylish family bathroom enjoying a roll top bath and surrounding wood panelling.

The sitting room enjoys a red brick fireplace with an original bread oven featured to one side, a large bressummer above and an attractive log burner. The cosy dining room also enjoys similar features which leads through to the kitchen with its solid oak worktops and attractive quarry tiled floor. Being at the end of the house, there is a door which opens out onto the garden.

Upstairs, a landing bedroom leading to the main bedroom with dressing area boasting an impressive, vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers throughout, enjoying views over the garden and beyond.

Outside, in the beautiful garden, the current owners have created an Al Fresco dining area. There is a useful outbuilding/workshop with electricity connected and off-road parking.
