SELLER'S INSIGHTS It is an absolute dream living in the centre of the city, yet in a very quiet setting by the river. Being 6ft up and set back from the common, Brunswick Cottages is unique in the area, retaining privacy whilst also living right on the common. With the benefits of a completely modern house, yet in a period setting in a conservation area; right around the corner is a little-known community orchard and some allotments, and you can walk, run or go boating along the river into town or for miles out into the country. There are always free residents parking bays, electric charging points on the main road, and we have never had problems with large deliveries, builders and removal vans accessing via the rear alley; all the supermarkets etc. deliver to the front door. The neighbours are wonderful, and the immediate local area is full of interesting authors, musicians, academics, entrepreneurs, architects and artists.

In addition to its idyllic setting, Brunswick Cottages enjoys proximity to a plethora of seasonal events and activities. Throughout the year the residents can partake or observe in these gatherings but the most enjoyable of these is the Bonfire Night celebrations in which you can enjoy the fantastic firework display from the comfort of your own home.
