Owner Insight

"Our parents bought the flat for a family member to live in, and previously it was their solicitor's mum's home so we knew it must have been a clean legal title! The property has more latterly been a rental investment, but we're not looking to be long term landlords now that our dad has passed away and mum in care, and feel it's time for new owner to take it into the next chapter. The private garden could be amazing, and a blank canvas for anyone with passion and green fingers. Our family were also attracted by the easy walk to St Marychurch, where you have so everything close at hand."
