NOTE FROM OUR VENDORS
We have loved living here, especially the views and summer sunsets from the decking. The garden has been a passion, offering year-round interest, peaceful seating areas and a wildlife pond enjoyed by birds and nature. Although close to town, the setting feels calm with a strong community, lovely neighbours and walks straight from the doorstep across the commons and along the canal. The extension created flexible living space ideal for hosting, with guests benefiting from their own bathrooms and views across the garden and valley from many rooms. After 35 happy years, the time now feels right for us to downsize, but this has been a truly special home
