£1,250,000 - £1,500,000 Guide Price

Occupying an enviable position in the heart of the highly sought after village of Upper Dean, Bridge House is an outstanding detached executive residence offering over 5,450 sq. ft. of beautifully appointed accommodation, exceptional leisure facilities, and breath-taking countryside views. Set within approximately 2.5 acres of mature landscaped gardens and grounds, this remarkable home provides an unrivalled lifestyle opportunity for families seeking space, privacy and versatility.

Approached via electrically operated gates, a driveway leads through the grounds to this impressive family home, creating an immediate sense of arrival. The property enjoys extensive parking and turning space, a double garage, workshop, and a substantial four-car garage with adjoining office/gym facilities, making it ideal for car enthusiasts, home workers or those requiring additional storage and workspace.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to combine elegant family living with superb entertaining spaces. A striking reception hall forms the heart of the home, featuring comfortable seating areas, a bespoke bar and an impressive hardwood staircase rising to a galleried landing above. The sense of scale and character continues throughout the property, with four generous reception rooms offering flexibility for modern family life.

The magnificent triple-aspect sitting room is undoubtedly one of the home's standout features, boasting a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a feature fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, and two bi-folding doors opening onto a full-width veranda overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. A formal drawing room, an elegant dining room, and a dedicated home office further enhance the versatile living accommodation.

At the centre of the home is a beautifully crafted kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of quality cabinetry, granite work surfaces, central island and integrated appliances. A traditional Rayburn provides both character and practicality, while the adjoining breakfast area creates the perfect informal family dining space. Complemented by a separate utility room, rear lobby and additional boot room entrance, the property is exceptionally well suited to everyday family life.

The first floor offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks across the grounds. The luxurious principal suite provides a private retreat, complete with dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and an impressive en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A charming library with extensive fitted shelving and adjoining sunroom offers a peaceful sanctuary for reading and relaxation.

Bridge House is equally impressive outside. The beautifully established grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres and have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide extensive lawns, mature specimen trees, colourful shrub borders, vegetable gardens, fruit-growing areas and secluded seating terraces. The elevated position affords stunning panoramic views across the surrounding Bedfordshire countryside, creating a wonderful backdrop throughout the seasons.

For those seeking the ultimate lifestyle property, the leisure facilities are second to none. A detached pool house incorporates a heated indoor swimming pool and sauna, offering year-round enjoyment and wellness opportunities from the comfort of your own home. Additional features include a snooker room, wine store, lift access between floors and annexe potential, making the property perfectly suited for multi-generational living.

Combining substantial accommodation, exceptional leisure facilities, outstanding privacy and a prestigious village setting, Bridge House represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most impressive executive family homes.
