Despite the classic period design, Bridge Farm is a modern house built to modern standards with features such as high levels of insulation & double glazing that allow the building to be comparatively cheap to run and maintain. The property has been built to an exacting standard incorporating all the character of a period house with features such as exposed beams and studwork, large sash windows and inglenook fireplaces built within impressive chimneys stacks. The house has large, well proportioned rooms with good ceiling heights and light and bright accommodation throughout.

The gardens and grounds surround the property and lead down to the River Brett with a small area beyond the river making the setting particularly rare. The house further benefits from a swimming pool run by an economical heat exchanger, a hard tennis court and a range of buildings including a studio, a games room, a barn, extensive garaging and an open fronted barn, all of which offer great potential and flexibility.

Further paddocks and woodland surround the property allowing a prospective purchaser the ability to keep horses or livestock on the land. There are mown paths through the meadows and woodland allowing for a range of walks through the grounds, the woodland and down to and along the river.
