Owner's comments

"Buying 2 Laurel Cottages was like buying a piece of history. I fell in the love with the age, look and charm of the home, and have recently put so much love back into the house to restore it's condition and original features to how it is presented today. Being so close to Rock Park is great and being local to the shops and amenities makes living in the house that little bit more special and convenient. I hope whoever buys 2 Laurel Cottages loves it as much as I do and have many happy times here."
