OWNERS' INSIGHT

"Tradewinds has been in our family ownership for nearly twenty years, with so many great memories. What drew our family here will be clear to see when you step through the door. Beautiful views, a sunny garden, plenty of parking, and a perfect position in a peaceful cul-de-sac, yet close to local schools and Wellswood. We have given much deliberation and debate whether to keep the house following bereavement, but it would only be for emotional reasons rather than practical, and it feels right for another family to take the enjoyment of living here."
