OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have lived happily at West Pafford Avenue for 40 years, and in that time we have brought up our twin daughters who were able to attend the primary school which was in walking distance. It is also very close to local shops, playing fields, golf club, beaches and bus stops. We have only decided to sell our property due to inheriting another property in close proximity. We are glad of this, as we love the area so much and would miss being so close to such lovely coastal surroundings, walks with beautiful scenery and the community atmosphere of St Mary Church precinct with its village feel."
