OWNER INSIGHT

"When we were looking for our forever home we were immediately attracted to Bridge House due to the convenience of its location, with everything that we needed found within a short walk, yet far enough away for us to be able to maintain peaceful enjoyment of our own property and a good level of seclusion in our 'suntrap' of a garden. We have enjoyed the lovely walks that are found on our doorstep, to the picturesque Cockington Village, along the scenic seafront and to the many other parks and green open spaces found within close proximity. I can certainly say that both of us and our dogs have been able to maintain a good level of exercise whilst enjoying the fresh air and local scenery. We have enjoyed the flexibility of the three storey living, with us being able to each have our own separate space for hobbies and/or relaxation and yet still have sufficient living space together. We've even contemplated utilising the garden level accommodation as a self-contained annexe, but felt it best to allow the new owners the opportunity of deciding how best to utilise the property for their own needs. Having now lived here for over 13 years we have never tired of life at Bridge House, although, as we have both taken early retirement, we now feel that the time is right for us to downsize and make a move to start a new chapter in our lives, giving any new owners the opportunity of enjoying what Bridge House offers and the ability of creating their own memories here!"
