OWNERS INSIGHT

"After owning a holiday home for 6 years in Meadfoot, we made a lifestyle choice to relocate and retire to the area. Purchasing the bungalow, and in our chosen area of Wellswood, has proved to have been just the best decision. Over the last 10 years we have thoroughly enjoyed living here. Haldon Road is so quiet with very little traffic and is within walking distance for a newspaper, having a drink and bite to eat and attending the annual Christmas street party. In fact the village is our go to for almost everything. Our favourite room is the sun lounge allowing us to spend most days in the sunshine, reading, dining and generally chilling out. The terrace is such a private sun trap and is a great place for summer eating. It is with a heavy heart that we have reached a point (and age!) where we need to be closer to family, we wish we could lift up the bungalow and take it with us, however, we will be able to take such happy memories and no regrets whatsoever!"
