Seller Insight

“124 Watling Street has been a cherished home for 40 years.

As we prepare to downsize for our retirement for a quieter pace of life, we look forward to welcoming a new family who will enjoy this home’s vitality and tranquillity to create their own happy memories here, just as we have.”
