Bridgecourt House

• Historically, the property now comprising Bridgecourt House was the farmyard to neighbouring historic Bridgecourt Manor. Presumably the 'court', or small manor, by the bridge. In around 1983 an original stone barn was rebuilt to create a very special family home in this historic courtyard setting. The House and buildings are described in the floor plans and photographs and more particularly below. 

THE HOUSE • Bridgecourt House largely built in 1983 of stone elevations beneath mainly tiled roofs. The property has been constructed to an extremely high standard providing spacious, light and airy accommodation. It stands in extensive formal grounds and with the neighbouring buildings, is set around a most attractive gravelled courtyard.
