VENDOR INSIGHT
"When I was looking to purchase my new home I was seeking a property that had potential and as soon as I walked through the door I knew that this was the right home for me. I was immediately attracted to the lovely open views to the rear and liked the fact that the rear garden enjoys a bright sunny southerly aspect as well. With a lot of time and hard work I have now been able to fulfil the potential that I initially saw in the house, having created what I feel is a fantastic contemporary property. Having had the opportunity of enjoying the 'fruits of my labour' I now feel that the time is right for me to move on and let a new owner enjoy the benefits of my lovely home."
