What the owner says

“We bought the house for the space inside and out. Plus there’s loads of parking and a big garage. We’ve spent 23 happy years here but the kids have flown the nest and it’s time to downsize. We’ll miss our lovely neighbours and the many advantages of living close to all amenities but new adventures lay ahead for our retirement.”

EPC Rating: D
