Vendors' thoughts: "We have loved being part of the history of this beautiful Georgian house. It is peaceful and full of light and space and it has been a real joy to live here. The period features are a reminder of the heritage of the house and it has been lovely to have a small private garden too. The park at the back of the garden has some magnificent trees which create a sense of being in a more rural setting. The house is perfect for entertaining with it’s high ceilings and interconnected living and dining rooms which are full of light and over the years we have enjoyed many special moments here. It’s also a perfect family home, close to great schools , shops and cafes for both a growing family and for teenagers acquiring more independence. The Promenade and Montpellier are just a few minutes walk away - perfect for shopping, dining, meeting friends and of course Waitrose is very close for every day shopping. Over the years we have used the flat to accommodate friends and family but have also let it out during festival weeks and on longer term letting arrangements. It’s always been very attractive to people and can be a useful source of additional income if required. We have two protected off-road parking spaces which are very valuable given our central and historic location and we have a good support network amongst our neighbours."
In nutshell: The house provides the best of historic town living and also the tranquility of a more rural setting.
