**Owners Insight**
"When we were looking for our first family home we knew within the first five
minutes this was the one for us. The large plot and generous parking was
better than anything else we had seen in our price bracket, and the garden
studio gave us the option to work from home if needed, yet independent to the
house. We also felt their was great potential, and we did get plans approved
back in 2019 to make an impressive kitchen extension.
We have let the house over recent years when work commitments took us away
from the bay, and we are now in the fortunate position to be able to offer our
old home chain free. "
