SELLER INSIGHT - "When we moved here seven years ago we were drawn to the propor tions of the house houses built circa 1910 are built to last and this house has big thick walls and a good quality feel. We loved the large square garden which is incredibly private and gets the sun all day we love that the house is on a really quiet road with no through access, it means that the only people who drive and park here are residents and the children can play outside in the summer.

The size and width of the hallway made a huge first impression, there is space for a bike and our pram but the kitchen is our favourite room and the garden is brilliant for BBQs. Although the house is finished to a high standard there's still plenty of potential, if you wanted to add even more value and your own personal touch you could re-do the 3rd floor and put something incredible there.

We absolutely love this house, it was our dream forever home and we'll miss so much about it.”
