BRIDGE HOUSE: Originally constructed in 1822, this impressively spacious and deceptive house was originally sited next to the attractive bridge which acted as the main access through to the Village of Wiggenhall St Germans. Its main purpose was to house the Toll that greeted those who wished to pass through. Since then, it has continued to serve the Village becoming both a post office and village stores. It then evolved into a single, residential dwelling before its current owners took residence and transformed it into the versatile home that it is today. For the last five years, an incredible level of thought, time and care has been applied both on the inside and out producing an enviable property that boasts 4 reception rooms, 3 bedrooms and a self-contained area which enjoys its own private balcony enjoying both the tranquillity of the passing river and far reaching views. This is ideal for use as either an annexe or as a guest suite for those who wish to visit. Downstairs, the main living space spans around 28ft across and comprises an L shape, open-plan sitting and dining room. Character remains within this area with a large, exposed brick chimney breast housing a multi-fuel burning stove which has a double aspect to a further, opposing reception room. In addition, there is a separate study, games/cinema room and a 24ft refitted kitchen that spans across the rear. There are the additional practicalities of a utility and cloakroom and upstairs, the sleeping and additional living space can be found. Here, each of the bedrooms are of a true, double proportion and these are all served by a modern, refitted bathroom, sizeable enough to accommodate both bath and double width shower. Its new owners have then cleverly used the remaining rooms to unlock a new level of potential; the main bedroom (directly accessing the balcony) is large enough to provide a seating area whilst also providing access through to a modern, separate bathroom. Stairs originally led to a 4th bedroom which has now been transformed into a spacious, effective kitchen/breakfast room. All-in-all, a triumphant and effective redesign. Outside, just as much time and care has been applied where plentiful levels of parking have been created alongside low maintenance, private seating and storage areas in addition to the construction of a detached double garage. In those unseen areas, rewiring, new heating, new Upvc double glazed windows, increased insulation and brand new roofs have all been undertaken ensuring that this property can continue to be enjoyed with no major issues festering in the background. This allows the next occupants to just enjoy the true pleasure that this property can release, enhanced further by village and river walks that are right on its doorstep.
