Vendor's Comments - "When we bought the house, we were a young couple looking to start a family. The house needed a lot of work, and we've updated it completely over the years, growing with us as our family has grown. The long garden gets a lot of sun in the morning and afternoon, and as we back onto the park, it's not overlooked, so it feels nice and secluded. We've had many a barbecue and kids campout.

There is a real sense of community in the area. We built a book library which gets a lot of folks passing and swapping nooks. Lots of families on the road and a healthy, helpful community, including lovely neighbours on either side.

We've been able to walk to everything we need. It's a real 15-minute neighbourhood with doctors, dentists, supermarkets, butchers, bakers, grocers, and good cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants nearby. The park behind the house has a lot going on, from baby groups, a playpark, and the activities up at the Ardagh. We rarely use the car, that said, the off-street parking is very handy. There are also lots of good choices for nurseries and schools, and our son has loved his time at Bishop Road Primary."
