Owner's perspective - "We've loved living on Hillside Avenue. The open-plan layout, natural light, and stunning views have made it a joy for our family. Being within walking distance of the town centre, with its charming shops and cafés, has been fantastic and our children adore trips to the park and Coldeaton Farm for ice cream. The bi-fold doors truly bring the outdoors in, and the garden feels like an extension of our living space. With a mix of patio, lawn, and vegetable patch, there's room for everything. The street is quiet, safe, and welcoming. It’s a real community."
