Summary - BRIDGE COTTAGE BUCKHORN WESTON GILLINGHAM SP8 5HF
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Large workshop and generous garden near village amenities and main roads.
Double-fronted period cottage with four bedrooms
Bridge Cottage is a handsome period detached house on the edge of Buckhorn Weston, offering traditional charm and practical space for family life. The double-fronted layout provides comfortable reception rooms, a sizable kitchen and utility, plus four bedrooms over two floors — honest, straightforward accommodation for everyday living.
The property's standout asset is the substantial workshop/former garage (about 1,368 sq ft / 127 sqm) with electric roller doors and a newly insulated end currently used as an office. That space creates clear opportunities for a business, hobbyist workspace, or conversion subject to any consents. Outside, large, mostly lawned gardens face south at the front with a western patio, mature hedging and off-street parking for at least two cars — room to create a cottage garden or keep low-maintenance lawns.
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil-fired boiler described as old, walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and broadband speeds are slow locally. The house and the former garage sit on separate titles and the property is offered chain-free, making a quicker move possible. This is a rural, low-crime, well-connected village for motorists with excellent mobile signal; the A303/A30 are within easy reach.
For families or buyers seeking workspace and garden, Bridge Cottage combines period character with rare ancillary space. Buyers should budget for modernisation (heating upgrade, wall insulation, and potential electrical or connectivity improvements) to fully maximise the home's comfort and efficiency.
