Guide price

Having been in the same family for over 100 years, we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Thingley Bridge Farm to the market: a beautiful Grade II Listed property in gardens and grounds approaching two and a half acres, in an idyllic countryside setting. The house is full of character and with accommodation arranged over three floors, it provides flexible living space retaining many original features: the Reception Hall with its impressive, beamed ceiling has original flagstone flooring along with plank and muntin panelling. A stunning conservatory looks over the beautiful gardens that have been a real passion for the owners. There are three further reception rooms and a Kitchen/Breakfast Room with Aga - a comfortable, social space in which to host and prepare the meals! A large utility room and Home Office complete the ground floor accommodation whilst on the first and second floors there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite washroom, a bathroom and a shower room. Externally, a wide driveway entrance leads to garaging and ample space for parking alongside the walled garden at the front of the house. The gardens are a delight, wrapping round the house they afford a good degree of privacy and enjoy a sunny south and westerly aspect, overlooking the adjoining paddock and farmland beyond. Large lawns studded with mature trees and shrubs, and a meandering stream, provide an attractive backdrop for a large, paved terrace immediately behind the house. The paddock is on the western side of the property, providing attractive amenity space; there is a range of buildings which provide excellent workshop/storage space, and further garaging in the form of a four-bay barn with a secure workshop. In all extending to about 2.4 acres.
