Bridge House is situated on the south bank of the Stroudwater

part of Ebley has been transformed in recent years as part of the
project to restore the canal and is now a very popular area in which

faces almost due south. It very much retains its own identity being
screened at the foot of its garden by sympathetically restored
Victorian mill buildings beyond which there are lovely views to
Selsley church on the hillside. Crossing the canal by a charming old

painted cottage at the head of its drive which from there sweeps
through the garden to the side of the house with ample parking. additional advantages of being very accessible to the station,
