Property description

Owners Comments
“We moved in 15 years ago and have extended and refurbished the house, making it a beautiful home to bring up a family. We have especially enjoyed the heated swimming pool, which has kept the kids and their friends happy throughout the summer months and a great source of exercise for us.”

“We have spent many an afternoon enjoying the landscaped tranquillity of the secluded garden. Having a cup a tea in bed on a Weekend morning looking out through the patio doors onto the garden which is abundant with wild birds was another favourite of ours.  We will miss this house, but the kids have grown up its time to move on!  “
