A note from the Homeowners:

We purchased this property in 2014 as an investment and have successfully rented it out ever since. It's been easy to let, and we've had minimal void periods due to its great location near the town centre. We chose this property because of its long lease and the charm of being in a conservation area, which adds to its unique appeal.

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
