This is what the vendors had to say about their beautiful home:

1. What attracted you to the property when you bought it ? The proximity to the train station and town centre and yet its location means you’re not battling with town centre congestion to get anywhere. The M25 is within easy reach which is very convenient for visiting family. The rooms are generously proportioned, and the garden similarly.

2. What improvements have you made to the house?

We have redecorated every room in the house and made significant improvements to the garden, plus had a new block paving driveway fitted. We moved the master bedroom to the rear of the property and removed a chimney breast to provide more space. The loft room has been converted to a more usable space. We have fitted a new modern kitchen, along with Amtico hallway flooring and new carpet throughout.

3. What have you enjoyed about living there?

Convenience for commuting yet opposite woodland that takes you to the town in one direction and open countryside walks in the other. We have particularly enjoyed the garden which is a haven for birds and is fully enclosed so safe for pets and children.
