Vendor's Thoughts
The house was bought 48 years ago; at the time it was split into two flats in a field. Now, after loving modification and maintenance, it is a spacious, light and airy family home in a well-maintained garden.
The home creates a relaxed lifestyle, typified by the kitchen with the living room and conservatory either side of it (effectively two kitchen-diners), the south facing conservatory with its garden outlook being ideal as a diner in the summer.
The layout of the garden, which faces south so has sun all day, provides a large secluded area remote from neighbours, an allotment size vegetable plot providing all year-round vegetables, and a greenhouse with water and electricity to cultivate plants and grow tomatoes etc.
As current residents it will be sad to leave such a property with so much space and many convenient features. However, the time has arrived to let someone else enjoy living in a much-loved home and garden.
