Old Bridgend Cottage is a charming, detached, Black and White cottage which has been extended over the years and provides the opportunity to create a delightful home in a private and attractive setting. The cottage has a wonderful period feel with exposed wall timbers, beams, ledge and brace doors, inglenook fireplace and original bread oven. The large entrance porch is predominantly glass with a tiled floor and provides plenty of space for boots and coats. An old, solid wood door leads into the sitting/dining room which is divided by a partial wall of exposed timbers and half height panels. The rooms have exposed wall and ceiling timbers and dual aspect windows letting in plenty of light. At the bottom end of the sitting room is an attractive stone inglenook fireplace with brick and stone hearth and wood burning stove. To the side is the original bread oven. The kitchen has a sink unit with stainless steel sink and cupboards underneath, free standing cooker and spaces for a fridge and freezer under the worktop. The contemporary shower room has a tiled floor and white suite including storage cupboards under the basin and a separate shower cubicle with tiled walls. From the sitting room, stairs lead up to the light landing, with exposed timbers and bedrooms off. The airy double bedroom has wall and ceiling timbers with windows looking out to apple orchards on one side and the garden and countryside beyond on the other. The single bedroom again has exposed timbers and views to the garden.
The property is approached off the lane and onto a parking area for two cars. There are double wooden gates and a pedestrian gate into the garden which leads round to the porch. The large and private gardens are bordered by a traditional hedge and have a lovely rural outlook. They are mainly laid to lawn with specimen trees, fruit trees and shrubs.
