Sellers Insight

"When our parents decided to move back to the UK from their home in France in 2007 they wanted to find a home that provided them with space to accommodate the family when they visited, and privacy, but at the same time provided them with convenience and was not going to be too high maintenance for them. When they viewed Suncrest Lodge they realised that they had found their new home, a well-proportioned detached home set within easily maintained grounds, found within a short distance of a parade of local shops and also close to the town centre.

They enjoyed 17 very happy years living here, making many happy memoires, and found that the house met their needs admirably. It is now time to pass the property on to new owners, enabling them to create their own memories and enjoy the benefits that Suncrest Lodge will offer them."
