The Seller’s view - “We’ll certainly miss our neighbours when we move, although we’re hoping to upsize locally. Everyone is so polite and friendly, yet the road remains peaceful and quiet. We’ve built a lovely community over the years, from taking parcels in for one another to looking after each other’s spare keys.

One of the first things you notice when entering the house is the downstairs toilet on the right-hand side. It has been incredibly convenient, particularly when we’ve had friends and family over, meaning guests haven’t needed to go upstairs. Many cosy evenings have been spent in the living room, especially watching the children put on their own little shows. The space underneath the stairs has also provided some really useful additional storage. Having the kitchen/diner open directly onto the garden has been fantastic for family life. We’ve enjoyed plenty of barbecues and summer meals outside, while the layout has meant I could prepare dinner and still keep an eye on the children playing in the garden. A useful storage cupboard provides plenty of room for the hoover, ironing board and all those everyday items you’d rather keep tucked away. Upstairs, both main bedrooms are a really good size, comfortably accommodating double beds along with plenty of freestanding furniture. Over the years, the third bedroom has been incredibly versatile, serving as both a home office and nursery as our family has grown. The bathroom is bright, clean and pleasant, with the window providing good ventilation and helping to keep the room free from damp and mould. During the colder months, the heated towel rail has been a real luxury and something we’ve appreciated every winter. Our sunny, low-maintenance garden has been the children’s playground for many years and has given us a lovely outdoor space without requiring lots of upkeep. The patio has been perfect for enjoying meals outside and making the most of the warmer weather. There’s also plenty of additional storage in the garage to the rear, which is where we park our car as well. Overall, the house has worked really well for our family, and we’ve created so many happy memories here.”

Ricky’s view - For families there is a park and woodland round the corner, plenty of open green spaces are on your door step too, excellent for morning/evening strolls which hosts many dog walkers and runners. A short walk to the shops is useful when you've ran out of an ingredient or missed something off the shopping list. The Fish and Chip shop takeaway is fantastic, Hasan Balti is a lovely Indian too. They're located on the same parade of shops where you will find the pharmacy, doctors and community centre as well. Situated in one of the most sought-after locations in Chells Manor. Growing up in Chells Manor myself, I know how quiet the turning is, the neighbourhood is very friendly.
