House For Sale £399,950
Owner insight "What a lovely house', that is what everyone says and on my relocation to Bristol, if I could, I would have taken it with me!
An extremely spacious feel, bright and airy, plenty of useable outdoor space wrapping around the property with off street parking made it an ideal home. With the playing fields, some of the best schools within walking distance and a nice stroll away from the amazingly beautiful village of Cockington, it is in an ideal position to get out and explore without taking the car.
Having owned the property for over 17 years, reluctantly it is now the right time for someone else to make it their new home."
