Bridge Cottage is a very attractive brick and flint period house in a wonderful location on the edge of Little Bedwyn. The property is beautifully presented throughout with neutral colours creating a fresh and spacious feel, whilst still retaining the original character of the house. The rooms on the ground floor benefit from windows at the front and back and have a lovely outlook along the canal behind the house. There is a charming kitchen/dining room with painted wooden floorboards, smart bespoke cabinetry with wooden worktops, a gas-fired range cooker, and plenty of space for a dining table. The kitchen leads through to the sitting room which has a fabulous brick fireplace and logburner, as well as smart painted floorboards and a stable door to the garden. Beyond the sitting room is a delightful conservatory/family room, filled with natural light and looking out across the garden. Next to the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom. There is also a downstairs double bedroom with en suite bathroom, and a smart kitchenette, providing flexibility for use as a separate annexe if required. Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms including the main bedroom with en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Planning permission has been granted for an extension, replacing the conservatory and creating a new kitchen with principal bedroom suite above. Interested parties should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority. PL/2021/09461
