OWNER INSIGHT “We purchased this house nine years ago when pregnant with our child. We fell in love with the warm sunny, quiet garden immediately and knew it could be a happy family home. Throughout our time here, we have modernised the garden, installed a new kitchen, updated the bathroom and created accessible storage in the loft space. We’ve also made a lot of happy memories!

We love this house and our home but it’s time to find somewhere a little larger before we have a teenager on our hands!”
