About
Six Bedrooms | Three Bathrooms | Indoor Swimming Pool | Approx.
0.9 Acre Plot | Chain Free Tucked away at the end of a quiet and highly sought after cul-de-sac in the desirable village of Bridge, this substantial detached chalet bungalow occupies an exceptional plot of just under an acre.
Offering over 4,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, generous gardens and the rare advantage of an indoor swimming pool complex, the property presents a unique opportunity within one of the area’s most favoured village settings.
Originally constructed in 1953 and significantly extended over the years, the home has evolved into a spacious and highly adaptable residence, ideal for growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking flexible reception and leisure space.
A large brick paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached double garage.
York stone steps rise to the entrance, opening into a spacious hallway with extensive built-in storage and access to the principal ground floor rooms.
The main reception room is a welcoming lounge centred around a gas log effect stove set within a stone fireplace, complemented by fitted cabinetry, bar cupboard and a charming circular feature window.
The room flows through to a separate dining room, creating an excellent arrangement for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with a four oven gas Aga and extensive cabinetry, offering generous workspace and storage.
Integrated appliances and a walk in pantry enhance practicality, while a utility room provides additional storage, laundry space and there is direct access from the kitchen to the rear garden and garage.
The ground floor offers considerable flexibility, currently arranged to include several bedrooms, a study, a family bathroom and a cloakroom.
The principal bedroom benefits from built in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while an adjoining bedroom provides options as a dressing room, nursery or private study.
The layout allows for adaptable use depending on individual requirements.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both with built in storage, and an additional bathroom, creating an ideal arrangement for older children or visiting guests.
A particularly impressive feature of the home is the 28ft playroom situated to the rear, enjoying large windows overlooking the garden and direct access onto a substantial York stone terrace.
Beyond this lies the indoor swimming pool complex, which houses a 16ft Swimtek Toriba pool with swim jets, refurbished in 2023.
The pool area also includes its own plant room, shower and WC facilities. This extensive leisure space offers excellent potential for fitness, relaxation or alternative uses, subject to requirements.
The gardens are a defining feature of the property.
Extending to approximately 0.9 of an acre, the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, established borders and a variety of seating areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day.
A wooded section along the eastern boundary is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and benefits from a no building covenant, ensuring privacy and the preservation of the natural outlook.
Additional outbuildings include a summer house, greenhouse and garden sheds, further enhancing the outdoor lifestyle offering.
