Owner's Insight

"Foxlands has been a rental investment for ourselves, but with a tenancy due to commence unexpectedly cancelling, it has given us the opportunity to re-evaluate. Having moved home recently, it is makes sense to sell and invest the money in our own personal refurbishment plans.

When we were looking, Foxlands offered so much more than other properties in the same price bracket, having an exceptional location, larger room dimensions, private outside space, and allocated parking."
