£389,950 (Tenant Fees)

Stunning double fronted period cottage in A picture postcard hamlet setting. Beautifully refurbished and immaculately maintained four bedroom home with character features, sunny courtyard gardens and A large separate garage. Peacefully positioned in the idyllic hamlet of bridge, just outside st columb major.

Bridge is one of North Cornwall's most picturesque hidden gems, a beautiful country hamlet sitting on the edge of the historic market town of St Columb Major. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Cornwall, it enjoys easy access to many of the county's most popular destinations including Newquay, Padstow, Wadebridge, St Austell and the cathedral city of Truro, making it an ideal base for both families and those seeking a quieter pace of life.

St Columb Major offers a small but thriving traditional high street with a range of everyday amenities including a national convenience store, independent shops, a highly regarded butcher, welcoming public houses, and a popular primary school. The town has a strong sense of community whilst remaining conveniently located for the spectacular North Cornish coastline and excellent transport links.

Bridge itself offers a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, characterised by attractive stone cottages, period homes and stunning countryside surroundings. A gentle stream, the River Menalhyl, flows through the heart of the hamlet, providing a picturesque backdrop and the relaxing sound of running water. Rising near Goss Moor before eventually reaching the sea at Mawgan Porth, the river once powered several local mills and the historic crossing at Bridge is marked by an attractive Grade II listed bridge. Despite its tranquil feel, the town centre of St Columb Major remains only a short uphill walk away.

Occupying a delightful position at the heart of the hamlet, 17 Bridge enjoys lovely views towards the stream, allowing you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as the world gently passes by. This handsome double fronted natural stone cottage is not listed, giving owners the freedom to enjoy and improve the property without many of the restrictions often associated with period homes. Deceptively spacious throughout, it has undergone an extensive programme of sympathetic refurbishment by previous owners before being lovingly maintained and beautifully presented by our current vendors.

A wrought iron gate opens into an attractive enclosed courtyard garden, beautifully planted with mature shrubs and offering a choice of sunny and shaded seating areas. The practical entrance porch features attractive slate tiled flooring, a modern composite entrance door, useful storage for coats and shoes, together with a convenient ground floor WC.

The main living room is an outstanding open plan reception space extending across the full width of the cottage, flooded with natural light from two front facing windows. Centred around the staircase, the room naturally divides into two inviting areas, one providing a comfortable sitting room centred around a feature log burning stove, whilst the other creates a cosy reading corner complete with useful alcove shelving.

To the rear is a separate dining room with tiled flooring which continues seamlessly through an open archway into the beautifully appointed kitchen. Fitted with an excellent range of sage green shaker style units complemented by solid oak work surfaces and a classic Butler sink, the kitchen also incorporates integrated appliances including a double oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, creating a practical yet stylish space for everyday family life. Beyond the kitchen is a small but useable sunroom which provides additional reception space together with patio doors opening onto the rear garden.

The first floor continues to impress with a charming split level landing leading to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The family bathroom is beautifully fitted with a modern p-shaped shower bath, vanity storage and contemporary tiling throughout. One bedroom also benefits from its own en suite shower enclosure, whilst a separate WC on the landing provides excellent practicality for family living.

Throughout, the property successfully blends traditional character with modern comforts and is presented in exceptional decorative order. Additional benefits include UPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating.

Outside, both the front and rear gardens are enclosed, attractively landscaped and designed for ease of maintenance. Mature planting, colourful borders and several seating areas make them wonderful spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons.

A particularly valuable addition is the generous detached garage situated just along the road, but only moments from the cottage. Larger than many single garages, it comfortably accommodates a vehicle whilst equally lending itself to workshop or storage use. We understand the garage benefits from its own electrical supply, which is currently disconnected, but may offer potential for reconnection if required, subject to any necessary checks.

Homes of this calibre rarely become available within the Newquay catchment area. Combining generous family accommodation, an idyllic picture postcard setting, beautiful presentation and a wealth of period charm alongside modern day comforts, 17 Bridge represents a truly special opportunity to acquire one of the area's most desirable village homes.
