Vendor comments:

" I have loved this beautiful family home for 34 years and I shall miss the house with its lovely Victorian features even including the cellar which, unlike our neighbours’ doesn’t flood because it is drained. It’s hard to choose a favourite room but I think it’s the master bedroom – light, huge, beautifully proportioned and with an en-suite. The garden is just big enough for barbecues, children’s games and sitting in the sun but doesn’t need a huge amount of work. We hope the next owner enjoys it as much as we have. "
