Welcome to Bradbury House

Located in the charming village of Gosforth, Cumbria, Bradbury House is a residential care home offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our residents. Purpose built in 1998, the house boasts a rich history and even received a royal opening by King Charles, Prince Charles at the time!

Our spacious ensuite shower rooms offer stunning views of the Cumbrian countryside and fells, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing environment. You can also enjoy socialising with fellow residents in our comfortable ground-floor lounge, which leads directly to a beautiful south-facing garden. For those seeking a bit of shade, our charming summer house and shaded seating area provides a perfect retreat.

More than just a care home

At Bradbury House, we offer exceptional care while nurturing a sense of community. Our friendly and qualified staff are dedicated to providing you with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious meals tailored to your individual dietary needs, and a wide range of daily activities and social events chosen by the residents.

Our convenient location also means you have everything you need within easy reach. There are several shops nearby for your daily essentials, with many cafes, a hotel for loved ones who may visit and restaurants. There is a local nursery and primary school next door who often visit us and spend time with the residents. St Mary's Church is conveniently located just across the road.

The village of Gosforth is at the foot of Wasdale, the western part of the Lake District National Park and Bradbury House offers easy access to breathtaking scenery.

Testimonials

Thank you all so much for the wonderful care, passionate devotion to duty and most of all humour you afforded to my dad during his time at Bradbury House. You all made him feel so comfortable during his stay. Whatever we do or say would not convey our gratitude enough. You are all angels in a uniform and your care will never be forgotton.

Resident at Bradbury House.

A massive humbled thanks to each and every member at Bradbury House who helped make my Mum's final years, months, weeks, days and hours the very best that could be asked for. The caring, compassionate and loving home that you all helped create for her was obviously fully appreciated and she was truly thankful for all you did for her, as indeed we, her family are too.

Family member of a resident

We would just like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Bradbury House. You have gone above and beyond to make sure our dad felt safe, secure and mostly, at home. It has been a pleasure to visit and we could not have asked for anything better for dad. Thank you from us all as you have cared for us too.
