With a sizeable almost level garden extending to three sides of the property, this is a well maintained home enjoying sunshine from morning to evening due to its orientation.

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."

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
