Looking for relaxed golf course living in a quaint little town, yet still with all the amenities you’ll ever need?

Welcome to The Bridges Estates in Tillsonburg, Ont. – a premier community of luxury detached and freehold townhomes nestled alongside The Bridges Golf Course – by Tillsonburg Developments Inc.

Offering a selection of 64 premier single-family detached homes in bungalow, bungalow-loft and two-storey models on a variety of lots sizes – plus a limited collection of 24 executive freehold townhomes – The Bridges Estates is your opportunity to own a beautiful new home built in timeless Craftsman style.

New premier neighbourhood

Indeed, Tillsonburg Developments’ design team is ready to work with you to help you achieve your goal of creating a truly defining home, with existing or modified plans to suit your every need and want.

The Bridges Estates will be completed in two phases, creating a new premier neighbourhood in Tillsonburg’s growing community.

Tillsonburg Developments is the same developer that built Baldwin Place, an award-winning adult lifestyle community of single-detached homes in Tillsonburg, which was voted number three of the top 10 Adult Lifestyle Communities in Canada.

Interior designs and finishes at The Bridges Estates can be varied to suit the tastes of purchasers. Like with the exterior colours and finishes, Tillsonburg Developments employs the services of an interior designer to help buyers select colours, materials and overall design, in a calm and relaxing manner.

Model home showcase

Other features at The Bridges Estates are covered rear porches, with optional outdoor fireplaces, larger double car garages with optional direct access to the basement. Homes are built with 10-ft. ceilings on the main floor and nine-ft. ceilings on the upper level. Taller windows, eliminating the need for transoms, capture more natural light, and are matched with eight-ft.-high doors throughout the main floor, including the front entrance.

The recently opened model home showcases a wide selection of features and upgrade options, including heated floors in the garage, ensuite and main bath and basement, two-storey ceilings in the Great Room, complete with multiple coffered ceilings, and a dry stacked brick fireplace.

All exterior doors, windows, mirrors, glass showers and glass railings are supplied by Tillsonburg Glass and Mirror, another Heckford family operation, in business for more than 85 years and currently run by the family’s fourth generation and son of Kirby Heckford, the builder and president of Tillsonburg Developments, Warren Heckford.

All homes at The Bridges Estates either back onto ravines, treed areas or the golf course.

Homeowners can also enjoy the recently renovated clubhouse and pro-shop, and coming soon will be a newly built celebration centre, suitable for weddings, sports events, family celebrations and more.

The friendliest of towns

Don’t know Tillsonburg? This beautiful little town of about 19,000 is located on Hwy. 19-S, just 23 kms south of Hwy. 401 and southwest of Woodstock, Ont. It’s also within easy access to London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Toronto and other destinations offering a wide variety of businesses, retail, health care and entertainment. A short drive of just 23 kms to the south and you’ll find yourself in Port Burwell, Ont. on the sandy shores of Lake Erie.

“It’s the friendliest of towns, where everyone you pass on the street will say hello. It’s the kind of thing missing from the larger centres these days.” This is just one of the comments heard repeatedly from those who have made Tillsonburg their home in recent years.

“We were told that this was a beautiful small town, but it has so much to offer it doesn’t seem so small,” is another comment newcomers repeatedly make.

In addition to the wide selection of businesses and services at both entrances to the town, the main drag is also known as “Canada’s widest street,” a beautiful tree-lined street where cars park on an angle to afford free parking for all to enjoy. The Tillsonburg Mall, right in the heart of town, combines with The Norfolk Mall, on the southern entrance of Tillsonburg to provide residents with another 200-plus stores and services.

Expanding amenities

A short walk from Tillsonburg’s main street is the full-service Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital. Health care in the area is further enhanced by the Woodstock Hospital which, since it opened in 2011, has continued to expand its services.

For family entertainment, the man-made Lake Lisgar offers a waterpark, sailing, rowing and fishing. A nearby multi-million-dollar community centre features a twin-pad arena, and for those who enjoy strolling community trails, there are 17.5 kms of walking trails to explore.

At the south end of the town is the Bridges Golf Course, which is currently undergoing changes to take it from 18 holes to 12, and to accommodate The Bridges Estates residential development.
