What Our Owners Say..
“I grew up in this house — every corner holds a memory. From playing with my brothers to picking the grapes in the garden, it’s always been filled with warmth and laughter. We’d walk to Lordship Lane for Saturday treats, play in the park after school, and pop into town easily — everything we needed was right on our doorstep. Elsie Road has such a lovely sense of community; neighbours look out for one another, and it’s always felt like home. It’s sad to say goodbye, but I know this house is ready for another family to fill it with new memories, just like we did.”
