What the Owner says:

We had been looking for about 2 years before we settled on Belle Vue House (it's original name on the deeds), and although it had not been updated since the 1970's we saw its potential to be a wonderful home.
We have over the years made good friends with several neighbours and enjoy socialising together. All in all, our time in the house has been wonderful but due to changing circumstances on the mainland we have decided reluctantly to sell. There will be tears!
