Designed and built in the 18th century, Bridge House in central Wickham is a very fine example of the distinctive architecture of the time. With an imposing façade dominated by mellow brickwork and superb tall sash windows, many period features add to the charm internally with wooden beams, fireplaces, high ceilings and flagstone flooring. The extensive accommodation is arranged over three floors with superb circulation space allowing for additional relaxation areas and providing a degree of versatility.
Accessed from Bridge Street, there is plenty of off road parking and an arched gateway opens to the main entrance where the original front door opens to reveal a fine reception hall. Three principal reception rooms provide spacious entertaining and family living space and are supported by the kitchen and a study with pleasant views over Bridge Street. There is also a cloakroom and access out to the garden from the rear hall, close to the kitchen.
Four large rooms on the first floor are accompanied by two bathrooms with four further rooms on the top floor.
A large paved courtyard garden is fully enclosed at the rear and the hard landscaping is softened by hedges, shrubs and flower borders. In one corner lies a former stable block which is currently used as a laundry room with storage space and a workshop area.
Wickham is a historical village with a large Medieval square framed by a good range of local shops and amenities with several places to meet friends for coffee and meals. The River Meon runs through the village just below Bridge House and there are many lovely walks and cycle routes to explore.
