Description
5a Bridge Road is approached from the road by a generous sized tarmacadam driveway, which can accommodate around three-cars and is nicely screened by mature beech hedging. From here a veranda style porch with pitched tiled roof grants access to the property. This spacious porch extends along the side of the property and is an extremely useful space for storage and can also accommodate a seating area. The porch also includes down lighters, a loft hatch and a glazed door opening into the entrance hallway.
The entrance hallway has a staircase rising to the first floor, understairs storage, wall lights and doors leading to the ground floor accommodation.
To the front of the property, there is a cosy living room featuring wall lights, decorative wooden beams and an electric fire.
Situated adjacent to the living room is a versatile ground floor room, which can be used as a downstairs bedroom or office and is large enough to accommodate a double bed. This room also has a window, Karndean flooring and fitted furniture including wardrobes, a desk and drawers.
Conveniently situated opposite the ground floor bedroom is a useful downstairs wet room comprising tiled walls, a shower area, down lighters, a chrome towel radiator, a pedestal washbasin and a low-level WC.
At the rear of the property is an extremely spacious and light dining room or further sitting room boasting magnificent views over the garden and countryside beyond. This room includes wall lights and adjoins the kitchen, which affords great scope to knock through and make one large open-plan family space.
The light and airy kitchen has matching wall and base units, with work surfaces incorporating an inset stainless-steel sink with drainer. There is space for various appliances including a cooker, a fridge freezer and a washing machine. The kitchen also features a door to the rear garden.

There are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom accessed via the landing, which has a cupboard housing the boiler, a window, a loft hatch and a further hatch leading to the easily accessible eaves storage.
Bedroom one is a spacious and light double room featuring glorious views over the neighbouring countryside.
The second bedroom is another good-sized double room, with eaves storage and a window to the front aspect.
Completing the accommodation is a bathroom comprising a pedestal washbasin, a low-level WC, a panelled bath and a frosted window.
Gardens and grounds
A fantastic feature of this property are the stunning rear gardens, which have been beautifully maintained and designed making for a high quality outside space. The gardens enjoy the utmost privacy, with a tranquil rural backdrop featuring great wide-angle views. Directly outside the kitchen is a two-tiered block paved patio housing a summerhouse and making for an ideal spot for alfresco dining and enjoying the sunny westerly-facing orientation. The patio is bordered by a well-stocked flower bed with a winding pathway leading to the long sweeping lawns beyond, which extend down to the bottom of the garden. Throughout the rest of the garden, there are plentiful mature bushes and trees including Japanese acer, magnolia and apple. The garden also features a shed at the far end and mature holly hedging.
