“Lower Axford House is a dream home with everything a family could wish for including a versatile flowing space for easy entertaining indoors and out as required, safe and peaceful within easy reach of local amenities. The grounds are a tranquil haven for wildlife including rabbits and owls and you will find the views and sunsets are amazing!”
