Owner Insight

"We have found that our home is the perfect location for popping to the local shops in Wellswood, as well as for being able to enjoy lovely scenic walks to Ansteys Cove and through the Ilsham Valley and down to Meadfoot Beach beyond.

Since living here, we have carried out a programme of modernisation of our home and love sitting tranquilly within the garden and enjoying watching the wildlife. We have really appreciated the quiet location but still benefitted of the convenience, being situated within easy access to the harbour side and town.

We hope the new owners love our home as much as we do."
