Carlyle Road, Greenbank

"We love our home and where is it so much. Our kitchen is the heart of it, from breakfast around the island, summer dinners with the doors open to the garden or parties and kitchen discos, it does it all! The space really works for us with our children having their own rooms, we have a dedicated home office and a spare room for family and friends. We are so close to the most amazing school, spoiled for choice for local places to go out and be in town in 10 mins down the cycle path."
