Sellers Insight

"My parents bought this bungalow in 1993, purchasing it from the original owners who had it built in the first instance. They spent 31 happy years living here and made various improvements inside and out over the years. As the bungalow was ideally located for them with shops, post office and hair dressers within walking distance, they were able to remain independent as they got older. Being on a corner plot enabled them to enjoy different areas of the garden and with the property being elevated they enjoyed the views and watching the world go by."
