Vendor insight "We have truly loved living in this home. When we first purchased it, we had a young family and needed more space to grow into. The decision to extend the property was the best one we made; it allowed us to create the open-plan living space that has become the heart of our home. We’ve spent countless happy hours here and in the warmer months, we love opening the bi-fold doors to the garden, transforming the space into an ideal setting for family barbecues and parties.  The sitting room has been a true sanctuary for us. It’s incredibly comfortable, and we’ve enjoyed many cosy evenings spent curled up watching a movie. The fireplace adds to the warm, inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day. This room has always felt like a haven, a space where the whole family can come together and enjoy spending time together."

Vendor insight "The garden has truly been a sanctuary for our family. It has provided a safe and secure space for our children to grow up and they’ve spent countless hours playing football after school and at the weekends. Knowing they are safe while we watch from the kitchen or snug has always been reassuring. In the evenings, the seating area is the perfect place to unwind, with the sun setting over the garden, making it an ideal setting for hosting drinks or enjoying a barbecue with friends and family.
