OWNERS COMMENTS

In the owners words "On retiring, our parents spent a long time searching for their ideal home. They wanted somewhere spacious, with a large garden and plenty of room to enjoy their retirement. Glenlorron offered everything they were looking for. They appreciated the large garden where they could enjoy the outdoors, while always finding another DIY project to keep themselves busy. They enjoyed many happy years at Glenlorron, and it became a much-loved family home. We hope its new owners will enjoy living here just as much as they did."
