Owners View

The things that we will miss the most about our home are the views, the convenience of the location and the walks down by the river and over the Wellcome Trust. The three things that make our home different from the rest are the back garden with the views, the character features and the quiet location. We have added a new kitchen and bathroom and also off street parking.
