OWNERS INSIGHT

"We always had our eye on the old house and when it came to the market twenty four years ago we knew it would make a perfect home for our young family. We moved in the November, got the swimming pool up and running in the April and don't think the children dried off until the autumn! Over the years we've made many magical memories, and as time and money permitted, we changed and upgraded to our taste and requirements. For us, the parking has been vital, with numerous family vehicles and boats, it has been such an advantage. Time has moved on, children have flown the nest, and we feel it is now right to downsize alongside a change in lifestyle. It will certainly be a sad day when we shut the door for the last time."
