Sellers Insight
We have absolutely loved our 30 years living on Windmill Hill. Initially we lived at the top of the Hill and when it came to moving to our family home, Cotswold Rd was the perfect choice. We wanted to continue to enjoy this wonderful area, the space of Victoria Park, the local city farm plus the vibrancy of North Street and the docks. Our children have been able to attend local schools from reception right through to sixth form and a key bonus is that they have been able to walk to and from school and grow in their independence.
As our children grew the house has grown with us. The playroom became a den where we now watch movies as a family and in the garden the sand play area became a skate park! At each moment the house met our needs and has provided a welcoming space for friends and family.
We love the brightness of the house and the large rooms, mixed with a friendly community that always look out for each other and enjoy a community gathering on the local green. It has been a wonderful home for 23 years and now it is time to seek new adventures.
