EXTERNALLY
Old Bridge House is approached over a cobbled gated driveway which provides an ample parking turning area with access to the detached triple garage with hobbies room over. Formal landscaped grounds surround the property and particularly to the rear and we believe extends to just under an acre bordering and overlooking open countryside. At the bottom of the garden lies a super enclosed enclosed swimming pool with summer house, ideal for changing rooms. There is also a large ornamental pond, gated access from the bottom of the garden then leads to the adjacent field which also has further access from London Road and would be ideal for those with equine interests. The field is totally enclosed with mature hedging and some trees and also enjoys a similar open outlook where we believe loose boxes could be erected with minimal difficulty.
