OWNERS INSIGHT
We moved into our lovely bungalow in 1998 not intending to be here for a long stay, 27 years later we are still here! It’s been a wonderful home and we’ve never found anywhere we like better. The neighbors are friendly, and the location is ideal. There are convenient local shops, schools hospital and a good local bus service. The bungalow gets the sun all day. The garden is a good size and low maintenance. There are lovely views over Great Hill and Brunel Woods to enjoy when sitting in the garden with lovely birds including gold finches being daily visitors. Sadley, now its time to move on. Family calls us back to Shropshire and we look forward to spending time with our daughter and son-in-law and all our many relations. We hope that whoever moves in after us will be as happy as we’ve been and we wish them all the best in their new home.
