OWNER INSIGHT

"We were immediately attracted to the property due to its convenient location and most importantly its sunny south-westerly facing garden enjoying the sun in the afternoon and evening, an attractive yet low maintenance outside area that could potentially even accommodate parking if required. When we purchased the property it was a bit of a project, but saw the potential that the property offered us. We have carried out a significant amount of updating and improvement work but unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we are no longer able to see our dream completed. With the work already carried out any new owner can comfortably live in the property whilst at the same time injecting their own taste and style. We have enjoyed our time living here, having found the area to be so peaceful and quiet, something that we will definitely miss. We have also been lucky to have such wonderful neighbours and only wish that we could take them with us!"
