OWNER OPINION
This is a large special family home, where we have all been spoilt with the large rooms, and enjoyed the extra space. I am especially fond of the period features that give the house a homely feeling. The street is very child friendly, with lots of other families with school age children. We have loved living here with the schools, town centre, Tesco, swimming baths, and cinema all being a few minutes walk away. We also have the park and walks over Sowerby Flatts on our doorstep.
