OWNER'S INSIGHT

"This is my second home in the direct area, and the location is so peaceful at the head of the cul-de-sac with no through traffic on any of the neighbouring roads. It's a deceiving house, and you only get a full picture of the size and scope once you walk through the door. There are so many attributes about the house, and for me as an artist the garden studio has been a big advantage, the double garage to park both cars, and flexibility of the rooms. Someone could easily make a studio for a teenager or home office if they need private access as there is a separate entrance to the large bedroom beneath the driveway approach."
