A detached stone-built house standing in beautiful cottage gardens with a stream running through, Bridgewater House enjoys a unique secluded location traversed only by the Pennine Bridleway – no neighbours, just peace and quiet.
Formerly a Waterboard property, the house was purchased by the present owners 60 years ago and has been their family home ever since. Retirement calls, creating an opportunity for a new family seeking a peaceful and rural lifestyle.
Bridgewater House stands on its own surrounded by a rugged and remote moorland landscape yet is only a few minutes’ drive from Hollingworth Lake Country Park, offering leisure and sailing facilities. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking, horse-riding and cycling.
