VENDORS COMMENTS Our dream was for a beautiful country house with about 3 acres, hidden away along a private hedged drive with stunning views across an area of outstanding natural beauty. Somewhere secluded but not remote, where we could unwind after the stress of our working days. We've lived the dream for over twenty years now and loved every minute of it. We were, and still are, mesmerized by the calming influence that seems to envelop Prospect Hill and all who live here. We share with an abundance of wildlife including red squirrels, pheasants, partridges, rabbits ans of course Billy the Peacock. We have visits from a wide variety of birds throughout the year, and even occasionally deer. The time has come for us to move on and we know that we leave behind not just a beautiful house, but a versatile way of life that will be appreciated and loved by it's new custodian and their families for years to come.
