The Heckford Bridge Angel

Description

Steeped in history and charm, this remarkable Grade II listed former Public House dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Constructed with traditional timber framing and topped with a characterful pitched tiled roof, the building spans two floors and features a quaint lean-to at the rear — all evoking timeless rustic appeal.

Nestled in a serene rural setting, the property enjoys idyllic views of surrounding farmland and forest, offering a peaceful, picture-perfect backdrop. To the right, a generous beer garden leads down to the tranquil Roman River and a scenic pond, creating an enchanting space for outdoor relaxation. To the left, a spacious shared car park provides ample parking.

The vision for this historic gem includes a beautifully appointed restaurant and casual dining area, complete with a bar, professionally equipped kitchen, cellar, and ample storage on the ground floor. Four well-positioned W/Cs will ensure guest convenience.
Upstairs, plans include six additional customer W/Cs and thoughtfully designed staff accommodation — featuring a private bedroom, living area, staff room, and two modern showers.
Reserved access and egress will be maintained to the client-retained land at the rear of the property, ensuring seamless integration with future development needs.
