Owners Comments
"This has been our family home for several years, where I have raised my two children. It's been a very happy home. One of the original owners was Thomas Hardy's wife after he died. I have worked incredibly hard to update and modernise throughout the years, yet maintain the house's originality and features. Many of the carpets throughout are almost brand new. The kitchen is almost new also. You will enjoy living here very much as i have lovely neighbours and great proximity to town, shops, schools and country walks."
