“I was living in a smaller house before and when I saw this property, I completely fell in love with it. My first impression of the house was how beautiful the granite building was as it has been completely refurbished by the Cala group. I also loved the size of the rooms and bathrooms plus I also loved the big windows in the house which allows plenty light in.
Even driving up the hill to the house was amazing as there were beautiful trees everywhere and the development was so clean and welcoming. The location is perfect as it’s very quiet and beautiful plus it’s just a short walk into the town centre. So I bought the property and moved in seven years ago.
When I moved in there was a lot of work needing done. So I have completely changed everything from the flooring, carpets and blinds to the paint, tiles and lights. The entire house has also been re-painted throughout.
I’ve also installed a new boiler and radiators and I’ve refurbished the front of the house and various other things. Our favourite room is the living room as it’s such a lovely space with high ceilings and large windows. It’s a great space for entertaining as we.
