OWNERS INSIGHT

"We bought the house in 1976 and it has been a wonderful family home ever since. Our son grew up here, we hosted countless parties, and I now enjoy seeing the grandchildren tear around the house and gardens". "There are so many lovely things about the house, but enjoying the afternoon and early evening sun in the garden on a nice summer day is one of my favourites. Parking can also be a problem in many roads nowadays, but with the large garage at the back having a remote access door I never have to worry" "I have so many memories to treasure, and can honestly say our neighbours are all lovely. It will be very sad to leave, but we are sure a new family will love the house as much as my family".
