OWNERS INSIGHT
"We moved into our lovely family home in 2013. It’s a beautiful sunny house with lovely light to the front of the house in the mornings, and from 12.30 pm in our back garden, which you can enjoy from our top decking, main decking or garden room, until the sun sets. We have had all the windows, patio doors and back door replaced. Recently a smart new front door with high security features was installed. We live in a small, quiet cul-de-sac, with no through traffic, 5 minutes walk from the shops at the Willows, but you would never know as it is so quiet. It is lovely to wake up every morning and hear the birdsong. We are surrounded by trees and greenery, and the birds and wildlife this attracts. We are looking to downsize to the local area as there is now only the two of us living in the house. The house is a lovely home for families and anyone wishing peace and quiet, with the readily available shops, and services nearby."
