Greatest homes: cul-de-sacs

Away from the main thoroughfare, a community of homes gather in a cul-de-sac

Whether it’s a small country lane or a modern build gathering together a number of houses, living on a cul-de-sac gives you that sense of distance – a retreat – from the hurly burly of the busy main roads. With a community feel and a good safety record, as well as a variety of homes in style and cost, a cul-de-sac is much the preferred option for many home buyers.
