Owners comments "You know a house is special when you stay there for 20 years. When we first walked through the door, we knew this would be a lovely place to bring up our family. We loved the period features. We loved how flexible all the spaces were and that they were all evenly proportioned (no arguing over who got the smallest bedroom in our family!) We loved that we could be in the country or in the town in a matter of minutes. And the funny thing was - we never expected to love it. We didn't know the village, we weren't looking for a period property. But as soon as we walked in, we knew we were home."
