Welcome to our property at Main Road, St. Lawrence! We have been fortunate to call this house our home for over 9 years, and it has been a wonderful place to raise our family. Let us share with you some insights and experiences we've had living in this fantastic property and the charming village of St. Lawrence.

When we first moved here, we were drawn to the peacefulness and tranquillity of the area. Having previously lived in busy and overcrowded neighbourhood's, we longed for a quieter and less populated village. St. Lawrence offered us the best of both worlds - just a 5-minute walk to the beach and beautiful fields across the road. It was the perfect location to raise our children, with plenty of space for them to explore and play.

One of the highlights of living in St. Lawrence is the sense of community. We have lovely elderly couples as neighbours on both sides, who have always been friendly and willing to help. It's a safe and close-knit community where everyone knows everyone. Our children have made friends with other children in the area, and we have all felt a strong sense of belonging.

The village is incredibly family-friendly. When our youngest son started school, he was picked up and dropped off by the school mini bus. The children also had the opportunity to learn life skills and have fun at Forest School every Tuesday afternoon. St. Lawrence is a safe place for children, and parents always kept in touch with each other to ensure their whereabouts. In the summertime, the kids enjoyed activities at the Ski club or sailing club, and we often had barbecues by the sea, spending quality time with friends and family.

Our house itself has been a labour of love. It used to be a 2-bedroom bungalow, but the previous owners, a Russian couple, transformed it into a spacious and comfortable family home. With 5 bedrooms, including 2 downstairs, it suits a variety of family dynamics. Teenagers would appreciate having a bedroom and maybe a gaming room downstairs, while younger children could have their space upstairs.

Over the years, we have made significant improvements to the house. We wanted to bring more light into the space, so we changed the windows and internal doors, as well as the floors throughout. The staircase was also replaced, and both bathrooms and the master bedroom were completely renovated. The kitchen, the heart of our home, underwent a complete transformation, and we added a cosy bar in the garden, along with a swimming pool and a mini football pitch for our football-loving son. The house has been a perfect setting for gatherings and parties, with something for everyone, young and old.

The local community in St. Lawrence is truly remarkable. It's a close-knit and supportive community where neighbours are always willing to help. We have experienced this first hand when my husband needed an asthma pump. Within minutes of posting on the village Facebook page, someone dropped off a spare pump for him. It's a community where everyone looks out for each other, and that sense of belonging is truly special.

As our children have grown up and moved out, we have come to the realization that the house is now too big for us. We feel it would be a shame to have most of the rooms closed off and not fully utilized. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to downsize while still staying in this beautiful rural village that we have come to love.

We hope that you will find the same joy and happiness in this property and the St. Lawrence community that we have experienced over the years. It's a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds - a peaceful countryside setting and a close-knit community that feels like family. We are confident that this property will provide you with the perfect foundation for a wonderful and fulfilling lifestyle.
