Client Comments "It's been a great home for us over the last 14 years, the layout has worked so well for our family, and the garden room has been a real added bonus.
It's such a versatile space – transforming from a kids games room, the perfect place for sleepovers, to now being a gym with space for us to unwind.
Having space to park three cars on the driveway has also been a huge plus. The house is on a quiet, friendly street, we'll miss the sense of community.
Everything you need is within walking distance, including local schools, shops and bus routes.
We hope the next owners enjoy living here as much as we have." Description Upon entering, you are welcomed by a comfortable and tastefully presented living room, ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests.
