Bridge Road, Ickford

ICKFORD 41 Bridge Road is a fabulous opportunity to buy a 'blank canvas' in a highly desirable location and create a family home that's just right for you. Ickford is a sought after village sitting in lovely countryside, just 5 miles from the popular market town of Thame. The primary school in Ickford (rated outstanding) is a huge draw to local families and for commuters, fast trains from Haddenham and Thame Parkway will take you into Marylebone in just over half an hour. The village also includes a popular public House, general village store, post office, village hall with tennis court and church. 

41 BRIDGE ROAD Bridge Road is a residential lane leading into Ickford village, over farmland and the bridges that give the road its name. The property itself is nicely set back from the road, with a very large front lawn and gravelled driveway. This front garden offers the chance to create multiple off street parking spaces, while still retaining some attractive green space as you approach. The house is in need of full renovation but offers the chance to create a superb home in a great location.

Upon entering the property, the kitchen is to the right and is serviceable and a good size. There is a large and long living room/dining room to the left which runs the full depth of the property and looks out over the lovely garden. The ground floor is also home to a fully accessible shower room in the rear extension.

Upstairs, there are two good sized, nicely square double bedrooms and a bathroom in between - which would also benefit from some updating.

It's outside that the cottage shows its true colours and full potential - the back garden is large and when you look at the rear of the property, it's clear there is scope to extend in a variety of different ways. Looking at neighbouring homes, there is certainly a precedent for a double storey extension, adding valuable bedroom space upstairs. The ground floor could also be enlarged without eating into the generous garden and there is also space for a side return. All subject to planning permission, but there's certainly opportunity for increasing the space and turning this property into something really rather special.

Currently a small cottage on a sizeable plot, 41 Bridge Road is a rare and fantastic opportunity to extend, renovate and restore a lovely countryside home.
