SELLER INSIGHT
We’ve lived here since the house was built twenty-four years ago and have absolutely loved the family home it has provided through the years. We were attracted to Harmston because of the quality homes Peter Sowerby has created, in a beautiful village style development.”
“There is a lovely flow to the house and a wonderful connection with the garden as all three rooms at the back have French doors onto the terrace.”
“When we came here, we had the garden professionally landscaped so now all the plantings are mature. It’s fully enclosed at the back and safe for dogs, and west facing so ideal for catching the evening sun with some beautiful sunsets to enjoy if entertaining or just wanting to eat outside in the summer. It’s also not overlooked at all with various mature trees and a high beech hedge at the bottom of the garden.”
“During our time here, we have refurbished the bathrooms, kitchen, changed the internal doors and carried out various bits of modernisation here and there along with redecorating.”
“It is a fabulous community to be part of and when we first moved in we quickly got to know many neighbours who, over the years, have become firm friends. Our children went to the primary school in Navenby, then The Priory Academy LSST in Lincoln, both excellent state schools.”
“It has been an ideal location for us as a family with easy access into Lincoln, perfect for working from home and also for those business trips to London with fast direct trains from both Newark and Grantham.”*
