SELLERS INSIGHT
"We moved here in March 2017, drawn to the style of the house and the bright, light feel. We swiftly got to work putting our own stamp on it. Our first job was to create more parking, widening and block paving the drive. We also had a sizeable store and utility room built, which we’ve found a handy addition. We didn’t know the area terribly well, but soon got to really appreciate it. We both love the sea so it’s been great to be able to get to Preston Sands beach in a couple of minutes, and a treat to be able to see the bay towards Berry Head from upstairs! We got our dog, Ellie after we moved in so having access just over the road to Occombe fields and woods is perfect. Sandringham Drive really is a great spot, it’s a quiet road that’s handy to get all over the bay or onto the A380 for Exeter and beyond. A shop, hairdresser, post office, vets and fish and chip shop are just a short walk away. We’ve loved living here and hope the new owner enjoys it as much as we have."
