VENDORS COMMENTS I consider myself privileged to have been able to bring up my family in such safe and scenic surroundings. The freedom and tranquillity of the outdoor lifestyle bring a tremendous sense of well-being. This house will always hold a special place in my heart, however my three sons have grown up and moved away, and I want to be able to visit them more easily and so it is time to move on. I have lived the happiest years of my life in this house and I hope you will too.
