Sellers insight "Highview has been our home for nearly twenty years. It has been a happy time; we were initially attracted by the welcoming feel the house gives as soon as you walk into the hall, the feeling of spaciousness and no arguments about who gets which room as they are all large with great views! The addition of the conservatory has really added to this feel and means that the house is both a perfect social and a family home - be it from cosy meals in the kitchen, to large indoor-outdoor parties in the summer. We are sorry to leave the house, but hope the next residents will be as happy as we have been."
