SELLER INSIGHT “I purchased the property from new in 1999,” says the current owner of 12 Hargreaves Close, “and time has flown by happily in this home in the years and decades since. Initially, I was attracted to the space and the light in which the property is suffused from every angle. Even now, people comment on the way in which both the light and sun flow through the house.” “This is a home which flows effortlessly so that living in it is comfortable with a room for each occasion,” the owner continues. “The cosy lounge is a particular favourite: I enjoy snuggling up in the winter watching a good film, and in the summer, I open the patio door to allow the sun and warmth to enter the room. I have enjoyed many a lovely evening with family and friends in the lounge and have many wonderful memories to take with me of times spent there.” During their time here, the owner has made various improvements to the property. “Over the years I have updated the bathrooms and the kitchen,” says the owner, “the latter being a great living space that opens into the garden via bifold doors to create the perfect al fresco social area. In addition, I have converted one of the garages into a large dining space for dinner parties with friends and family. It flows from the kitchen making it easily accessible when cooking and entertaining.” The location of the property has much to offer, too. “Anybody buying this property will be spoilt for a choice of schools in the area,” says the owner, “with both state, private and public schools all just a few minutes away. The area has access to shops and a pharmacy within walking distance and even a choice of restaurants and local pubs. The property is located in an area of lovely walks with a lake within 10 minutes, where we still feed the ducks. There are also a number of parks within walking distance surrounded by greenery – the ideal place for children to play and make new friends.” “I have been extremely lucky over the years to live in a real family-oriented community, with great neighbours who have become friends and whom I will miss. When my daughter was young, she and the neighbours’ children all used to play outside in the cul de sac. I have always found a sense of security living in the enclosed close and have always felt safe.” “I have two favourite rooms: the kitchen for its access to the garden, and the lounge which is my safe haven.” “The most special of events for me was that this was the home that I brought my daughter back to when she was born and where I watched her grow over the last 20 years. The house has been full of laughter with her friends, and it is a very social home.” “The south facing garden retains the summer sun, so the patio is ideal for having a glass of wine in the early evening. The area is fairly private, so it is a haven in which to relax.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
