Overview

Bridge House is an attractive, double fronted property which was once part of the Dunwich Barne Estate and shares the architectural characteristics found throughout the village with its use of Suffolk red bricks, decorative bargeboards, black tile roofs and flint elevations. At the rear, there are also examples of the lattice window style used throughout the village. Set within a plot of around three acres which gently rises up Dingle Hill it is a lovely setting shielded from the on-sea wind by an embankment reaching up to the tree line at the rear of the plot. Within the grounds are numerous outbuildings, including a long single storey structure finished in black tarred timber boarding which has been recently used as a tearoom. The surrounding grounds include large terraces for seating, a sizeable greenhouse, several paddocks and the remnants of poly tunnels from when the site was used as a horticultural nursery. The main house stands within a private garden area bordered by mature beech hedging, there is an access gate at the front as well as a further right of access to the rear of the property where there is a large area of parking next to the detached double garage.

The house itself has an impressive footprint and offers plenty of accommodation for larger families. Bridge House offers scope for modernisation and reconfiguration to suit a buyer's taste, in its current form it has a spacious sitting room set at the front of the property with two further reception rooms on the East elevation where one is currently used as a ground floor bedroom. There is a study leading to a conservatory and a kitchen/breakfast room. To the rear of the property is a shower room with W.C. and a pantry accessed from the dining room. Upstairs, the current owner created an apartment area within the first floor that they rented. Due to this, there is a lounge area and kitchen accessed by a corridor which leads also to the apartment's bathroom and two well-matched bedrooms.
