3 bedroom detached house for sale

Stepping out into the morning sunshine to wander round her garden just as the world is waking up, the owner of Bridge Farm in Ledburn never fails to marvel at the seclusion and the tranquillity. “It is so private and peaceful here,” she observes. “You can go for a walk all the way round the garden and no one can see you. That is just one of the many wonderful things we have enjoyed about being here.” She and her husband bought the house 16 years ago so they would have ample space for their children and grandchildren to spend time with them. Since then, they have gone on the enhance the property, making it their own and even building a timber-framed tea room that has become a thriving business. “It was during Covid that we decided to do this, never imagining for a minute that it would ever become as successful as it has been,” she says. “But people love to come here. They can escape from their busy lives for a little while and simply gaze out across the countryside.”
