We have enjoyed putting our own stamp on the property while still retaining its original character. The location is perfect with countryside all around us, yet only two and a half miles from Canterbury city centre with its historic buildings, high street stores, individual shops and a great selection of pubs, restaurants, schools and universities. There is also the Marlowe theatre and two mainline stations including Canterbury West where fast trains can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour.<br />Bridge is a friendly village with two pubs including one with a Michelin Star restaurant and the renowned Pig Hotel. There is also a small supermarket, a chemist, a good primary school, a medical centre, dentist and hairdresser and easy access to motorway links for London.<p></p><p></p><h3>Room sizes:</h3><ul><li><b>Entrance Hall</b>: 20'0 x 11'8 (6.10m x 3.56m)</li><li><b>Cloak Cupboard</b></li><li><b>Bedroom</b>: 13'4 x 11'2 (4.07m x 3.41m)</li><li><b>En Suite Shower Room</b></li><li><b>WC</b></li><li><b>Living Room</b>: 25'1 x 20'1 (7.65m x 6.13m)</li><li><b>Kitchen</b>: 20'1 x 15'9 (6.13m x 4.80m)</li><li><b>Dining Area</b>: 15'9 x 15'4 (4.80m x 4.68m)</li><li><b>Hallway & second stairs</b></li><li><b>Main Bedroom</b>: 17'4 x 15'7 (5.29m x 4.75m)</li><li><b>En Suite Bath & Shower Room</b>: 16'5 x 9'2 (5.01m x 2.80m)</li><li><b>FIRST FLOOR</b></li><li><b>Hallway</b></li></ul><ul><li><b>Bathroom</b>: 17'3 x 8'3 (5.26m x 2.52m)</li><li><b>Laundry Room</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 4</b>: 19'3 x 13'8 (5.87m x 4.17m)</li><li><b>Bedroom</b>: 16'9 x 16'0 (5.11m x 4.88m)</li><li><b>Mezzanine Room 1 (Study</b>: 17'5 x 12'5 (5.31m x 3.79m)</li><li><b>Mezzanine Room 2 (Bedroom</b>: 14'8 x 14'0 (4.47m x 4.27m)</li><li><b>OUTBUILDING</b></li><li><b>Room 1</b></li><li><b>Area 2</b></li><li><b>OUTSIDE</b></li><li><b>Front Drive and Parking</b></li><li><b>Driveway & Charge Point</b></li><li><b>Rear Garden</b></li></ul><p> <br /><i>The information provided about this property does not constitute or form part of an offer or contract, nor may it be regarded as representations.
