5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

"Our home is a calm, elegant haven where the city noise melts away the moment you step inside. It’s peaceful, warm, and full of light, the kind of place that makes you exhale and slow down. Mornings are best spent with coffee in the conservatory, watching the birds and clouds drift by, or tucked into the living room’s cosy bay window where the house feels alive around you. The kitchen is the heart of it all - always buzzing with life - while the conservatory is where we gather for long meals, watching the rain or sunshine on the glass. In winter, the open fireplace wraps the house in comfort; in summer, the terrace becomes a sun trap for tea or BBQs."
