VENDOR THOUGHTS

We wanted to buy this house the moment we saw it as it appealed to our style and taste in so many ways. We have modernised our home for our requirements during our time here. One of the key features which has worked extremely well for us is the double storey studio within the garden, which separates work space from family life. We love the local area which has been ideal for our family life with local schools and the proximity to Banstead Village, as well as outdoor activities at Nork Park. We sincerely hope that the new owners will enjoy the property as much as we have.
