OWNER'S INSIGHT
"Luneville has been my home for twenty three years, and given me so many wonderful memories. The house is versatile and could be utilised in many different ways. Up until my recent retirement, I ran my upholstery business from home in the workshop, which gave a perfect space independent from the house, although it could equally revert to a garage, or potentially be incorporated into the living space. People say it, but I genuinely have lovely neighbours. Luneville is a great position, near enough to local schools and amenities, but far enough to be peaceful. The rear faces southerly, with the garden, balcony, and principal rooms all basking in sunshine and enjoying the open view toward the sea. I will miss Luneville greatly, but I feel it is the right time to downsize and have a change of lifestyle entering retirement."
