Graeme Lumsden, BLACK HAY Estate Agency Director/Valuer comments...

"After 39 Years in the property industry, marketing/selling a myriad of homes …Martins easily secures the accolade of being a very Special Home.

Its distinctive Traditional English Style, rustic red brick finish, architectural features and deep rear roofline underline its 1930’s style & quality …a fitting testament to its Architect & Original Owner James Carrick.

One particularly appreciates that with Period Homes respective owners are merely custodians in their history …and so it is with Martins, the current owners have relished their time …it now awaits the successful new owners who will move forward in their lives with Martins.“
