Bridgemans is a delightful cottage of great character and charm. It is Grade II listed and is believed to date from the 16th century.
The property has many period features, including exposed wall and ceiling beams and open fireplaces in the sitting room and snug.
The thatch has recently been replaced, and electric blinds are throughout the property.
A useful study is next to the snug and a bathroom with a bath, toilet and sink.
The current owners have added a fantastic, glazed link between the cottage and an impressive new open-plan kitchen with an island, sitting/dining area and vaulted ceiling.
Doors from the living area lead into a beautifully presented principal bedroom suite and utility room.
The property is approached via an electric gate, which leads to a gravelled drive and thatched well. There is a separate pedestrian gate entrance, with both gates controlled by a video intercom system.
A Yew hedge borders a path to the front door with further access via the glass link.
Two pairs of patio doors from the kitchen provide access to the pretty, wonderfully private rear garden. It is mainly laid to lawn and has a garden store/outbuilding with electrics and a potting shed.
Bridgemans is an attractive property located on the southern edge of Inkpen, close to the popular village of Kintbury and the market towns of Hungerford and Newbury.
It is well-placed for excellent communications, and the M4 and A34 are easily accessible. Trains to Paddington are available from Hungerford, Kintbury and Newbury stations.
Many well-regarded state and independent schools are in the area, including a primary school in Inkpen, Thorngrove, St Gabriels and Horris Hill.
Services: Mains water and electricity. Private drainage and LPG heating. Underfloor heating is in the kitchen/living area, principal bedroom & bathroom, glazed hall, and utility room.

From Jct 14 of the M4, head south on the A338 to Hungerford. At the roundabout by the garage, turn left on the A4 to go to Newbury. After approximately 1 mile, take the first turn to the right to Lower Denford. Head over the River Kennet and the railway bridge and bear right over Hungerford Common. After about 300 yards, turn left signposted to Inkpen. Continue on this road for about 2 miles, and as you enter the village of Inkpen, continue for about another mile, where you arrive at the former Swan public house. Go past the old pub, and Bridgemans will be opposite you at the T-junction.
