Owner's comments
"We bought this home to accommodate our growing family 20 years ago, and many reasons have kept us here for all this time. We love the space the property has to home our family, as well as to host guests, especially with our more recently converted garage. It's been perfect use for working from home and is also great as our 'den' to use another cosy living space to retreat to. We've absolutely loved living in Fairacre Avenue too, the neighbourhood is very friendly and sociable, and it has not only a very safe, but also a very convenient area for the children to grow up. We love being close to so many things like schools, parks and all the amenities in Newport. It really is a brilliant home that we hope someone else will love as much as we have for so long."
