We’ve enjoyed living in this house since 1994. It has provided a warm family home where our children grew up and had the benefit of attending excellent schools within easy walking distance. The front area is spacious and has the advantage of a through driveway; the back is private and secure. We have very friendly neighbours and as the last house on the road, have grassy common ground to the south and across the road. It’s time for us to downsize but we will miss living in this house and hope it is purchased by another family to enjoy it as we have.
