"I bought the house because it was close in relation to my parents and growing up in a period property with them meant I wasn’t keen on moving to a new build with lack of space in the rooms. The garden albeit previously was rubble out the back has been all landscaped and is a fantastic entertaining space, many events have been held outside which will forever be a cherished memory. I love the high ceilings and the spacious bedrooms within the property. The garden is a huge asset too and it’s beautiful in the summer out playing with my little girl. In the snow and cold weather I love how cosy the house feels. My favourite room in the house is the living room, the feature wall is striking with real slate and i’ve managed to keep the safe that’s built in the wall that brings real character.
