Take your pick from two large homes at the edge of the city

EDGE of the city living has two great bonuses, you can have cows grazing over the hedge and still be just a short drive to the town.

This mix of the pastoral with the practical has fuelled a strong drive for building sites on the outskirts of our major towns and the enforcement of increasingly stricter regulations by the planners.

The alternative to getting tied up in red tape and builders procrastination is having your cake and eat it - just buy in.
