OWNER'S INSIGHT
"It's hard to believe I bought the cottage 20 years ago through John Lake Estate Agents for my first home. For the past nine years they have also managed the letting to wonderful tenants, and when they decided to move I felt the time was right to cut my emotional tie and let someone else enjoy it as their home. I am biased, but for me the location is perfect. St Marychurch shopping precinct is at the top of the hill, and there are so many beautiful places close at hand."
