Owners' Comments
\"We have loved every moment here in the bungalow. The view overlooking the park is fascinating and constantly changing from watching woodpeckers to acrobats practising to monks playing football. Location here is perfect and the buses are close by as is Totton town centre. The New forest is close and we have enjoyed many walks across the forest. We will miss the bungalow and location but circumstances dictate that we must move on. I sincerely hope that the new owners enjoy the bungalow as much as we have.\"
