My wife and I moved to Nomansland over 40 years ago, our aim was to enjoy and embrace the good life. We succeeded beyond our expectations, but time has caught up with us and downsizing is our next project.
School Road and Nomansland residents are very friendly and helpful and if you stretch a hand out to them friendship will soon come your way.IntroductionThe west facing gardens are an absolute delight, offering much privacy and varied sections to keep the most avid gardener entertained and the most productive ‘kitchen garden’ growing a host of ‘all year round’ produce. Constructed in 2003, the accommodation is well proportioned and pleasantly bright, decorated in soft neutral tones, with three generous bedrooms and a large loft which may be suitable for full conversion subject to the required planning permission. In addition, the family bathroom features a Jacuzzi Whirlpool bath and Sauna and there is generous parking as well as a garage.
