OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have owned our beautiful home since it was built in May 2000 and we’re so excited to buy it off plan watching it be built. Our children grew up playing with their Barn owl friends safely in the cul-de-sac or within the level enclosed garden. Over the years we enjoyed shared social events with the other families on the close, watching the children grow from toddlers to teens. I walked to and from work at the hospital, which was good for me and …our back pocket. We enjoyed Marks & Spencer being our corner shop though …that wasn’t so good for our back pocket! We wish you the same happiness at number 36 ."
