OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The house has been perfect for us over the past twenty five years, giving the flexibility to adapt to our changing family needs. The annexe is ideal if anyone has a dependent relative, or like us using the additional space for ourselves. We have never rented the annexe, but that is another option. The garden is very sunny and private, and the garage has been invaluable for parking and exceptional storage. I can honestly say I do not want to move, but I need to downsize now there is only two of us."
