Seller Insight When did you first find this home, what first drew you to it, and what was it that instantly captured your heart?

The house is surprisingly quiet for a city centre location.” How would you describe the feeling of arriving home, whether at the end of a busy day, after a weekend trip or simply just a few hours away?

“Relief and comfort. The house just hugs us, warm throughout and a sense of peace.” Tell us a little about the home’s history.

Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality? “The house is a new build completed at the end of 2015 by Hartford homes and is super insulated.

The front looks like a traditional Georgian house but behind the facade is a modern and high tech interior.

Fitting shutters to the front and electric blinds to the rear improved the passive heating and cooling.
