Welcome to Bridge Bungalow – a substantial and truly individual residence where over a century of character blends beautifully with decades of thoughtful extension and improvement.

Originally built in 1912, this remarkable bungalow has a wonderful history. Since purchasing it in 1988, the owners have carefully adapted and enlarged the original building to create the spacious and versatile accommodation seen today, while preserving lovely reminders of its past, including original internal doors, architraves and characterful features.

Extending to approximately 2,086 sq. ft. across two floors, the accommodation offers exceptional space and flexibility. It includes up to five bedrooms, several reception rooms, three bathrooms—including an en-suite to the principal bedroom—a superb contemporary kitchen, utility room and an impressive principal suite complete with its own walk-in wardrobe.

One of the most appealing aspects of Bridge Bungalow is how naturally its traditional and contemporary elements work together. Character fireplaces, original detailing and generously proportioned rooms are complemented by a stylish modern kitchen, beautifully finished bathrooms, bi-folding garden doors and substantial extensions—all combining to create a distinctive and highly adaptable place to call home.

Ground Floor

Lounge

18’6” x 15’3” (5.64m x 4.65m)

The principal lounge is wonderfully spacious, offering an impressive yet comfortable main reception room with plenty of space for a variety of freestanding furniture. A log-burning stove creates an inviting focal point, adding warmth and character, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden and provide a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces during the warmer months. An internal door leads through to the dining room, allowing the two reception areas to work beautifully together when entertaining while remaining clearly defined individual rooms.

Dining Room

13’5” x 12’5” (4.08m x 3.78m)

The separate dining room is another beautifully proportioned reception space and retains a real sense of the property’s original character. A beautiful feature fireplace provides the focal point of the room, while its generous proportions comfortably accommodate an extensive dining table along with other additional furniture. Original details remain evident here and throughout this part of the home, helping to preserve the character of the original 1912 property.

Kitchen

17’0” x 12’4” (5.18m x 3.76m)

At the heart of Bridge Bungalow is the impressive modern kitchen, which has been thoughtfully extended and measures approximately 17ft in length. Combining contemporary design with generous storage and practical workspace, the kitchen features a central island with additional cabinetry beneath, creating a natural focal point and valuable preparation space.

A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a Bosch induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher, alongside separate Liebherr fridge and freezer units. Velux roof windows introduced as part of the extension fill the room with natural light, while the well-planned layout connects conveniently with the surrounding reception rooms and utility area.

Utility

4’10” x 4’7” (1.47m x 1.41m)

Positioned separately from the main kitchen, the utility provides additional cupboard space together with plumbing and space for the washing machine, allowing the practical elements of the home to remain neatly away from the principal kitchen.

Reception Room

13’11” x 10’4” (4.24m x 3.16m)

A further reception room adds considerably to the versatility of the ground-floor accommodation. This is a genuinely useful additional living space that could suit a variety of purposes depending upon the requirements of its next owners. Its position within the home also makes it particularly useful alongside the two ground-floor bedrooms, whether required as an additional sitting room, snug or more private reception space.

Bedroom Four

13’9” x 9’6” (4.19m x 2.90m)

A well-proportioned ground-floor bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes and matching bedside drawers, with ample space to move comfortably around the bed and throughout the room. Having well-appointed bedrooms across both floors is one of Bridge Bungalow’s greatest strengths, offering excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or those seeking the convenience of ground-floor sleeping arrangements.

Bedroom Five / Office

13’5” x 7’10” (4.10m x 2.40m)

The fifth bedroom provides another highly versatile room. Currently identified on the floorplan as a bedroom/office, its proportions make it equally suitable as a guest bedroom, dedicated home office, hobby room or additional living space.

Ground-Floor Bathroom

10’0” x 7’10” (3.06m x 2.39m)

The ground-floor bathroom is an excellent size and is fully tiled across the floor and walls. It includes a bath, large separate shower enclosure, WC and useful storage, providing convenient facilities for the bedrooms on this level.

5’4” x 3’10” (1.62m x 1.17m)

A separate ground-floor WC is fitted with a modern suite comprising WC and hand basin, complemented by contemporary tiling.

The entrance area also features a composite external door, while the hallway and staircase provide another opportunity to appreciate the combination of character details and later improvements found throughout the property.

First Floor

The staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation, where three further bedrooms are positioned alongside the principal en-suite and main bathroom.

Principal Bedroom

18’4” x 13’4” (5.60m x 4.07m)

The principal bedroom is quite simply an outstanding size. Measuring approximately 18’4” x 13’4”, the proportions are perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that the room currently accommodates an American super king-size bed, together with substantial bedside furniture, while still retaining an impressive feeling of space. The bedroom also benefits from excellent storage, including a walk-in wardrobe providing an exceptional amount of dedicated clothing and storage space. Together with its private en-suite, this creates a genuine principal suite rather than simply a large bedroom.

En-Suite

6’10” x 4’6” (2.09m x 1.38m)

The principal bedroom benefits from its own private en-suite, featuring a white gloss three-piece suite comprising a shower, WC and washbasin. The room is tiled from floor to ceiling, creating a smart and contemporary finish.

Bedroom Two

13’11” x 10’1” (4.23m x 3.07m)

Another excellent double bedroom offering plenty of room for additional furniture and featuring useful built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom Three

10’8” x 8’10” (3.24m x 2.68m)

The third first-floor bedroom is a comfortable and practical space, featuring built-in storage and a good-sized window that allows plenty of natural light into the room.

Main Bathroom

6’7” x 6’1” (2.01m x 1.85m)

The modern first-floor bathroom features a larger-than-average bath with a rainfall shower above, alongside a WC and washbasin. Built-in cupboard storage, a radiator, contemporary finishes and a large mirror complete this stylish and practical bathroom, which serves the additional first-floor bedrooms.

Outside

Bridge Bungalow enjoys excellent outside space, with French doors from the dining room and bi-folding doors from the lounge opening directly onto a paved patio. This area provides plenty of room for outdoor furniture and creates a lovely connection between the main reception rooms and the garden. Beyond the patio is further garden space, along with additional paved areas suitable for more seating, outdoor dining or entertaining.

Parking

The property also benefits from a driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles, accessed via electric gates and enhanced by courtesy lighting.
