SELLERS INSIGHT

"I have owned the property for over 25 years now and it has been a very good rental investment property for me during that time. In fact the last tenants were so happy that they spent approximately 24 years living there! I was initially attracted by the lovely open views enjoyed to the front and with it being southerly facing the sunlight would flood through the front of the house, warming it nicely. The location of the house is so very convenient, with a range of local shops in Moor Lane within walking distance, with a more comprehensive shopping parade in Barton Hill Road also just a short stroll away and a regular bus service passing the door."
