Property description

A superbly presented first floor apartment set in a quiet location within the grounds of Bridge House with use of the garden

A purpose built apartments specifically for people aged 55 and over are available for long term letting on this wonderful new development in Dawlish

Dawlish is located at the outlet of a small river, Dawlish Water (also called The Brook), between red sandstone cliffs, and is fronted by a sandy beach with the South Devon Railway sea wall and the Riviera Line railway above

Dawlish railway station is situated in the town centre next to the beach. It is served by trains to most stations in Devon, and to London and further afield. The line is noted as one of the most memorable stretches of track in Britain for its natural beauty, although at a very high cost to Network Rail as it is one of the most expensive lines to maintain due to the continual battle with sea erosion

Behind the railway is a central public park famous for its black swans, The Lawn, through which Dawlish Water flows. The town boasts plenty of local amenities and facilities including shops, bars, restaurants, churches, public library and a museum. The town also has an array of leisure facilities including tennis courts, swimming pool, leisure centre and a bowling club

The apartments are set within the award winning grounds of Bridge House, which dates back to 1793.
