OWNERS INSIGHT
"We have only lived at the property for a short time but made quiet a few alterations including extending the property to have a useful utility room and removing concrete pillars from the front of the property to allow for additional parking. We have enjoyed our time here, especially being in a convenient location and peaceful setting but unfortunately due to ill health we are finding the garden too much to maintain and have made the decision to move to a smaller plot."
