OWNERS INSIGHT
"For many years we have enjoyed living in Watcombe Park with it's excellent tree lined roads, friendly community and access to the local shops. What we didn't have were the stunning views from our former home, so we decided to move up to our current address in Swedwell Road that adds this in abundance. Having outgrown our previous home it was great to have so much more space, however now we realise that a 4 bedroom house is possibly a little larger than we need so have decided to move on, downsize and start a new chapter in our lives. We shall miss looking at the wide ever changing skyline and the views across the Bay, particularly on a summer's evening with a glass of wine. Wishing the new occupants all the pleasure we have had from this lovely house."
