In the owners words:
The moment I walked through the door, I fell in love with this house. It’s a truly cosy and joyful home, radiating warmth and comfort at every turn. Owning it felt like a dream come true, and it has been the perfect place to raise my two children. My home has an abundance of space, natural light, and storage, all wrapped in a rich history and undeniable charm.
Living here has been a delight, surrounded by a friendly, welcoming community where I’ve made countless friends. The location is unbeatable, with everything you need just a few steps away, yet inside remains wonderfully quiet and private. The garden, tucked away from prying eyes, feels like a hidden sanctuary despite being in the heart of the high street. This is more than just a house; it’s a place filled with love, character, and memories waiting to be made.
