The Property
Bridge House is a wonderfully individual and surprisingly substantial period home, occupying a prominent position in the popular coastal village of Reydon. Behind its distinctive pink façade and blue-painted joinery lies approximately 2,183 sq ft of accommodation, arranged over three levels and filled with the character and individuality that only an older house can really offer.
The property retains a wealth of attractive period detail, including exposed timbers, original doors, quarry tiled floors and an impressive inglenook fireplace, while the generous proportions make this a particularly versatile family home.
The front door opens into the heart of the house, with two substantial reception rooms positioned to either side. The sitting room is a particularly atmospheric space, extending to over 21 ft in length and featuring exposed ceiling timbers together with a wonderful brick inglenook fireplace.
Across the hall, the dining room is another excellent reception room, measuring approximately 17'3" x 17'0", providing plenty of space for entertaining and larger family gatherings.
To the rear is the spacious kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of units and incorporating a breakfast bar together with integrated appliances. Traditional quarry tiled flooring works particularly well here and reinforces the character of the house. Beyond the kitchen is a useful pantry and an additional family room, while the adjoining utility room provides further storage and working space together with a ground floor WC.
A further and rather lovely feature is the cellar, extending to approximately 14'1" x 12'4", providing useful additional storage and another reminder of the property's period origins.
On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged around a characterful split-level landing and comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous at approximately 17'0" x 14'1" and benefits from an adjoining en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, together with a separate shower room and WC, creating excellent accommodation for family and visiting guests.
Outside
The garden is one of the real delights of Bridge House and another feature which isn't immediately apparent when viewing the property from the road.
Extending away behind the house, it has been thoughtfully established with areas of lawn, mature trees and shrubs, colourful planted borders and paved terraces providing attractive places to sit and enjoy the garden throughout the day.
There is a pleasing maturity to the planting, giving the garden a wonderfully settled feel, while its size provides considerably more outside space than might be expected from the property's central village setting.
With its distinctive appearance, generous proportions and abundance of period character, Bridge House is difficult to neatly categorise — and that's rather the point. It is an interesting, characterful and surprisingly spacious home in a superb location close to the Suffolk coast.
The property benefits from gas fired central heating and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
