Description

Lower Bradley is an attractive south-facing Grade II listed farmhouse, thought to date from the early 17th century with delightful period features. The picturesque position overlooks the valley of the river Dart, with the pasture, immediately in front of the house, running down to the banks occupying a long frontage. The property is mainly built of stone and cob, rendered externally, under a thatched roof with a south-facing front facade.

The dining room centres upon a stone inglenook fireplace housing the wood burner with beam over and original bread oven. The kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear and centres upon the oil fired Aga. There is an extensive range of cream base units and tiled worktop over, with a stainless steel double sink unit and space for a fridge and a dishwasher. Off the kitchen is the utility room, rear hall and store.
