Are you looking for the perfect family home with mature gardens and an entertainment hub? With a whole floor devoted to recreation and approx. two-thirds of an acre of grounds, Bridge House is a stunning detached, five-bedroom stone property that promises endless potential for fun and family.
A BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE SETTING .
Built in 2010, Bridge House boasts a high specification, contemporary design that complements the characterful old railway bridge that sits prominently to the end of the grounds - lending the home its name. Electric oak gates open onto a long driveway leading to a double garage and ample parking with turning area. Admire the property's handsome stone exterior before making your way to the home.
STYLE AND SPACE .
The light and airy entrance hallway immediately impresses with its smart tiling, and a gorgeous staircase split over two levels. Both the ground and lower ground floors have cosy underfloor heating, ensuring a warm welcome year-round.
FAMILY LIVING .
To the right of the hallway lie two beautiful and elegant reception rooms. Connected to each other and the kitchen by two sets of double doors, this side of the home can be completely opened up for entertaining, creating a wonderful flow.
The first of the two - the drawing room - boasts integrated wall library and a magnificent open fireplace with stone surround and hearth. Dual-aspect windows and French doors to the rear terrace draw in plenty of natural light.
Next, you will discover a formal dining room that oozes grandeur - ideal for those big dinner parties or memorable celebratory
gatherings. A second set of doors from here open onto the hallway, guaranteeing your guests a grand entrance.
THE HOME COOK'S PARADISE .
Leading from the entrance hallway, you arrive in a spectacular kitchen and breakfast room. Though modern, this bespoke kitchen offers plenty of charm, with the oak mantle above the Britannia range cooker with six-ring gas hob.
A large central island allows the chef to still be part of the conversation while rustling up a dinner for friends and family in this sociable hub. With stylish granite worktops and a fantastic range of storage, it's easy to keep things tidy. Windows on three aspects make the kitchen a bright and welcoming space and has an almost fairy-tale view over to the railway bridge from the double sink. In fact, you may not mind the occasional pile of washing up!
SOAK AND SLEEP .
The painted oak banister draws you up to the first floor and leads to an impressive landing with front-facing windows and a seating area. With five double bedrooms to discover, the landing leads to the first two rooms; one with views over the front garden and the second double bedroom has windows to the side aspect and fitted wardrobes.
Ahead is the fully tiled family bathroom featuring a large shower enclosure, a bath with a shelf to display a few scented candles, a stylish basin and WC.
Next, you'll discover two further double bedrooms each with their own en suite shower rooms.
UNWIND AND RELAX .
The principal suite is a delightful retreat, filled with natural light and decorated with soft tones. This bright, large room invites you to come and read by the bay window, try on a new outfit in your generous walk-in wardrobe, or soak up some bubbles in your chic en suite bathroom.
THE PARTY FLOOR .
Time to descend to the lower ground floor, where a spot-lit tiled hallway with underfloor heating provides access into an array of rooms to enjoy the company of friends and family. Straight ahead lies a sizable laundry room and a generous storeroom that would make an enviable wine cellar.
The second set of doors leads from the hallway into a smart study fitted with bespoke oak furniture and built-in storage, but also has
double doors to the rear terrace. Spacious and peaceful, the study is ideal for hosting meetings.
Also on the lower ground floor, you will discover a fabulous garden room with a trio of French windows and featuring its own kitchenette, making summer entertaining and hosting barbecues a dream. Next, you'll find the games room with a fitted bar - perfect for family film night or perhaps shaking the perfect cocktail. Finally, there's a separate games room currently used as a craft room, and a WC.
STEP OUTSIDE .
The mature, landscaped grounds, including a south-west facing main garden, sweep around Bridge House, with the old railway bridge providing a unique boundary.
Note the lovely ornamental pond in front of the bridge, where a path runs alongside stone walls rising to flower beds with fruit trees, and a sizeable patio ideal for alfresco dining and barbecues. The garden continues around the side of the property, where you will find a further lawn, terrace, flower borders, and greenhouses.
ON YOUR DOORSTEP .
South Luffenham is a vibrant village and community replete with charming homes. Set on the edge of the Welland Valley, the village is central to Stamford, Uppingham and Oakham, so there is a fantastic range of facilities in all directions.
