We have noticed... This is such a secret house! Perfectly tucked away and with the enviable open views behind, this is a perfect home for young families and retirees alike. It has a great layout and huge scope to extend (subject to planning permission) which the neighbours have done very well.

Our vendor says... Walnut House has been a happy family home for many years. Our children grew up in a safe, friendly village with an excellent school and many local clubs. We enjoy sitting in the conservatory in the evenings enjoying the lovely views and the peace and quiet. The house is warm and cosy in the winter and cool and airy in the summer. The beautiful mature walnut tree bears a large crop of nuts every year.
