"Monks Bridge is a gracious country house that has undergone an extensive refurbishment, both of the property and its garden and grounds. Built of stone and brick, and dating from the early 19th Century, the property was formally the vicarage and has wellproportioned accommodation with
high ceilings to reflect its heritage and is also perfect for entertaining. The refurbishment has included replumbing, re wiring, new windows
and overhaul of the roof, as well as a substantial extension to the rear ground floor. The house is perfect for 21st century living but retaining the authenticity of the graciousness of a bygone age.

Approached via its own driveway with paddocks and stable to one side, the drive leads through gates to a large parking area to the side of the house from where the front door opens into an impressive hall with cantilevered staircase, lantern roof and attractive Victorian quarry tiled floor. The principal reception rooms are located off the hall and include morning room, sitting room, library,
study, and garden room which have views over the beautifully landscaped gardens. Of particular note, is the light and airy kitchen family room which is fully fitted with island unit, pantry and doors onto the terrace. Off the kitchen is a dining area, a separate breakfast room and a WC. At the back of the house are a boot room, with access to a rear courtyard, a utility room, craft room and additional WC. Stone steps lead down to an impressive cellar with temperature controlled wine store and wine room. From the main hall, the staircase rises to a galleried landing off which are 6 bedroom suites all with quality bathroom fittings. The main bedroom has a dressing area with extensive fitted wardrobes. Off the rear landing, stairs lead to a walk in loft space.

The Coach House

The brick built former coach house was refurbished to the same standard as the house and
now provides excellent ancillary accommodation which includes a living room, kitchen, study area,
2 bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. This is ideal for a dependant relative, staff or overflow accommodation.

Outbuildings

To the rear of the coach house are a gym, the estate office and storeroom. There are further useful outbuildings in close proximity to the house.
These include a double garage, a triple, open fronted carport, motor bike store and small workshop. Within the grounds is a machinery
shed which extends to about 1100 sq ft with an attached store.

A particular feature of Monks Bridge is the beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds with many varied compartments . These include areas of lawn, well stocked individual borders, vegetable
garden with greenhouse, secondary greenhouse, box hedge parterre, orchard, paddocks all connected by well maintained paths. There is a hard tennis court and outdoor gymnasium, and an attractive brook that flows through the lower part of the garden.
