Personal Note From The Vendors - “We loved our house from the first viewing. It was the spacious kitchen dining room and the large private garden that really wowed us. We have been very happy here for over 25 years making changes along the way as our children have grown. And, the house has an interesting historical connection as it was previously owned by the parents of the poet, WH Auden who wrote, ‘Stop all the Clocks’ as featured in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and ‘Gavin and Stacey’.”
