OWNERS INSIGHT

"The moment we visited Millbridge House in 1986 we wanted to buy it and make it our home, we were so excited! As our family grew the property evolved with our needs, rooms have had various uses over the years. The children attended the local primary school and have great childhood memories living so near to their friends, local park and beach. I love my home and that’s why I’ve stayed for 38 years. The house is private, not overlooked, It faces south and has the sun all day. The rooms are big with high ceilings and large bay windows, so there’s a great feeling of light and space. The main bedroom is relaxing, surrounded with views of trees, over the field to the seafront. and even with a king size bed, there’s still room to dance! The annexe was renovated in 2019, visitors love it and it lends itself to many uses. It truly is a happy, family home and as sad as I am to downsize, I’m sure the next owners will love it too."
