Sellers' insight "Our parents moved to the house in the mid 1960s with Dad holding a strong hankering to move back to Quinta Road, having been brought up in his family home further up the hill. The appealing factors remain the same today which attracted our parents, the views, location, sizeable plot, and spacious rooms. In more latter years, the parking has become an increasing premium, and the old house provides ample driveway space, which could potentially be further extended, along with the benefit of the garage.

It has been a cherished home throughout our family ownership, and an emotional decision to sell now that our Mum has settled into supported care."
