One of Keynsham's most distinctive period residences, Chew Bridge Cottage occupies an enviable position beside the River Chew within the historic Dapps Hill Conservation Area. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds approaching one third of an acre, this exceptional detached property combines centuries of history with the comforts and convenience of modern family living.

Believed to date back several centuries and originally formed from four individual cottages, the property has been painstakingly restored and sympathetically enhanced to create a residence of considerable charm and individuality. Exposed stonework, original fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, bespoke joinery and a wealth of period features sit effortlessly alongside high-quality contemporary finishes, creating an elegant balance between heritage and modernity.

Offering four bedrooms and a collection of beautifully appointed reception rooms, the layout is both spacious and highly adaptable. A particularly appealing feature is the potential to create self-contained annexe accommodation, making the property ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking independent space for family members while remaining connected to the principal residence.

The grounds are every bit as impressive as the property itself. Framed by mature trees and enjoying a peaceful, private outlook, the gardens have been professionally landscaped to provide extensive areas for entertaining, relaxation and family enjoyment. Secure gated parking, two garages and the property's exceptional setting further enhance what is a truly rare opportunity within the heart of Keynsham.

Combining architectural heritage, versatile living space and a setting seldom found so close to the town centre, Chew Bridge Cottage represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the area's most remarkable homes.
