OWNER INSIGHT

“When we were looking for our forever home, we immediately chose Bridge House because of its convenient location. Everything we needed was a short walk away, yet far enough away for us to enjoy our own estate in peace and with a good level of privacy in our 'sun trap' of a garden. We enjoyed the beautiful walks from our doorstep to quaint Cockington Village, along the scenic coast and to the many other parks and green spaces in close proximity. I can definitely say that both we and our dogs were able to maintain a good level of exercise whilst enjoying the fresh air and surrounding countryside. We enjoyed the flexibility of the three story home where everyone could have their own space for hobbies and/or relaxation and still have ample common living space. We have even considered using the garden level accommodation as a self-contained annexe, but felt it best to give the new owners the opportunity to decide how best to use the property for their own needs. Having lived here for over 13 years we never get tired of life at Bridge House, although we are both retired and now feel the time has come for us to downsize and take the next step around starting a new chapter in our lives and all giving new owners the opportunity to enjoy what Bridge House has to offer and create their own memories here!”
