Owner's comments

"13 Westaway close has been a wonderful, fun-filled family home, for the past 10 years. We love the quiet cul de sac with great neighbours. To enjoy the most of our corner plot we added a single storey extension with underfloor natural stale heating, log burner and bi fold doors opening up to our slabbed entertaining area, hot tub and large swimming pool. Many of our summer filled with entertainment, laughter & fun for all of our families & friends. We also converted the garage into a shower room, toilet and utility which is so convenient. We recently added a lean-to to keep the back entrance to the kitchen clean and dry. Pilton is such a friendly welcoming & great place to live, only 5 minutes to walk to work at nddh, 10 minutes walk down to town. We have a beautiful Church, welcoming local pub, several local nature trails, great local events including the fabulous green man festival day. We’ve loved living here and will stay in this lovely area."
