After 45 Happy Years, This Flexible Family Home Is Ready For A New Beginning – Could That Be Yours? If you’re craving more space inside and out, it could be ideal – with four flexible ground floor double bedrooms and large gardens with countryside views.

Owned by the same family since the 1980s, this is a home that’s been very well cared for and loved. It’s spacious, versatile and ready for a new family to move in and make it their own.

It sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Bridekirk, a small village surrounded by open fields. There’s no passing traffic, just plenty of peace and a real sense of space – especially at the back.

The development was built on the site of the former Bridekirk House, with this particular property occupying what was once the old vegetable garden. The land was originally owned by monks of Gysburn Abbey, which inspired the current owners to rename the home “Gysburn.” It’s a small but meaningful nod to the area’s rich local history – something you’ll feel the moment you arrive.

There’s a lot to enjoy here – you may find yourselves falling in love with the place and staying for almost 50 years, just like the current owners!

The four ground floor double bedrooms give you plenty of family-friendly flexibility or space for weekend visitors. One’s currently set up as a dressing room but it still fits a double bed.

There are two separate bathrooms – one with a bath and one with a shower – so no need to queue in the mornings.

The living space is almost open-plan. A large lounge connects to the dining room, and the wall between the dining room and kitchen has been removed to create a more sociable layout. The dining space leads straight into a conservatory, with wide views over the back garden and the open fields beyond.

The bungalow sits on a very generous plot measuring almost 1,500m² (over 16,000 ft²), with a sweeping drive, a neat front lawn and a double garage that has power, lighting and an electric door. The ride-on lawnmower used to keep the extensive gardens in shape will be included with the sale, making it easier to maintain the beautifully kept outdoor spaces.

The back garden is fully walled – with a patio, large lawn and enough space for children, dogs, BBQs or just sitting out and enjoying the sun.

Bridekirk is a quiet village just off the A595. You’ll need a car to get about – there’s no public transport – but it’s only a 10-minute drive into Cockermouth and less than 40 minutes to Carlisle by car. Or you can leave the car in Aspatria and hop on the train.

There’s an “Outstanding” primary school (Bridekirk Dovenby) just a two-minute drive away, and Cockermouth School for older children is about 10 minutes away by car.

You’re also well placed for exploring the outdoors. The River Derwent is about a 25-minute walk away, and Bassenthwaite Lake is just 15 minutes by car.

After nearly half a century, it’s time for the current owners to move on and make this home ready for its next chapter. If you’re looking for space, peace and plenty of potential – both inside and out – it’s sure to be of interest to both families and traditional bungalow buyers.

We’re expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
