House For Sale £1,400,000
The house stands in an excellent position with stunning views across the River Coln, with its arched footbridge and the famous Arlington Row beyond. Originally thought to date from the 16th Century, Bridge House has been the subject of considerable alteration, extension and improvement. The accommodation is well presented and surprisingly light and spacious. On the ground floor, a hall gives access to a good-sized kitchen/ breakfast room with an Aga and an attractive Cotswold stone fireplace with inset cast iron hearth and recessed niches to the former bread oven. There are also attractive stone mullion windows overlooking the river with window seats below and exposed beams. Also off the hallway is a guest Loo. On the first floor, the drawing room has a pretty, open fireplace with a stone mantle, exposed beams, stone mullion windows and a window seat with picturesque views. The bedrooms on the upper floors are very well proportioned with an en suite to the master bedroom and further family bathroom.
The entrance to Bridge House is via a pair of wrought iron gates leading to a gravelled drive, with a single garage and off-road parking for several cars. The garden is a beautiful addition to the property and is laid out on various levels. From the drive, a path leads up to the different levels, laid to lawn with mature rose beds and trees. The path continues around to the other side of the house where the door from the landing leads out onto a raised patio terrace from which there are glorious views across the river to Arlington Row and the surrounding village.
