OWNERS' INSIGHT

"We have loved our home for nearly 28 years and so far we have been the only owners. In that time we added a conservatory off the lounge, without losing any rear garden and opening up the lounge. We also had all new windows and doors; changed the kitchen (and its layout) and installed a new bathroom. We have always felt fortunate that we have had so much somewhat private outside space with plenty of parking. The parking definitely being a bonus especially when you have visitors. The garden is great as it’s not overlooked and is so quiet - often filled with the sound of the birds going about their business! The location definitely has its advantages. There are plenty of choices of schools in the area, our daughter attending both primary and secondary school, over the years. One of our favourite things is being on the Willows and the access to a variety of shops within walking distance. There are plenty of things we will miss when we move, but it’s time for a new chapter!"
