Located within eight acres of parkland on the banks of the River Loddon, Bridge Park of Twyford is an exclusive retirement community for the over-55s. The estate offers a distinct balance of rural tranquillity and urban accessibility, situated a short walk from Twyford’s town centre and the main line railway station, providing direct access to London and the Elizabeth Line.

Accessed via a private road, the development consists of architect designed cottages and apartments finished to high specification. The properties are spacious featuring bespoke fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, and extensive storage. Apartments include at least two bathrooms (one or more being en-suite), while cottages are configured with a family bathroom and a first-floor en-suite or shower room. Each cottage and several ground-floor apartments also benefit from private gardens.
The community is designed to empower independent living while ensuring 24-hour hospitality, domestic, and personal care services are available as required. Residents have access to a comprehensive on-site health network, including physiotherapy, podiatry, and audiology. Professional medical oversight is supported by regular GP consultations and visiting specialists. Furthermore, the estate features a gym equipped with technology specifically engineered for older adults, providing a tailored environment for physical maintenance.

Communal amenities include an elegant residents' lounge, private dining facilities, and a dedicated chauffeur service. A structured social calendar—featuring supper clubs, weekly classes, and organised events—facilitates community engagement. At Bridge Park, the focus remains on providing a high-quality lifestyle that combines personal autonomy with professional support." Show less
