Owner Insight

"I have loved living here! It is a comfortable and honest home which has provided me with warmth and shelter and a sense of safety for the past 30 years. It is my happy place! I will be very sad to leave but the time has come for me to return to my roots in Scotland. The Close is a peaceful and supportive community with friendly and helpful neighbours and the views are stunning, whatever the weather.

I hope that the next occupants will have as much pleasure from and love for this home as I have."
