Owners Story - We have loved living in this house and in College Road. It has been a wonderful family home - plenty of space, a large kitchen which has been the hub of family life, and a garden ideal for games and relaxation, with mature apple and plum trees. We appreciate the house's period features - high ceilings, cornices, sash windows (now double-glazed) and fireplaces.
We have enjoyed the vibrant, friendly, supportive community in College Road, which comes together in regular play streets, annual lunches, etc. It has been great to have Palmer Park on the doorstep and the beautiful university campus a short walk away. Shops are conveniently close and the town centre is 10 minutes away by frequent buses or by bike.
It has been a perfect home for us and we hope it will be for the next owner.
