Set behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping, tree-lined avenue, Bridlewood House immediately impresses. A charming gate lodge sits at the entrance, while a golden gravel driveway, bordered by granite cobbles, leads gracefully through the manicured grounds to the main house.

A gracious entrance hall sets the tone, with a sweeping grand staircase, marble fireplace and polished floors. The layout is designed for both elegant entertaining and relaxed family living.

The orangery, with its soaring ceiling and wall-to-wall glazing, is a magnificent, light-filled room, perfect in all seasons.
