Owner's perspective - "We love living in our cosy old cottage within the village of Shirley. The pretty garden is private and not overlooked. We have particularly enjoyed the renovation and letting of the annex and its income. We are sad that the time has come to leave the cottage and the village with its friendly people and community spirit.
We hope that the next owners will enjoy the cottage and life in Shirley as much as we have."
