Sellers Insight
"When I first saw this property, I knew it was the one for me. I was looking to downsize but still wanted a detached home in the area. I immediately recognized the potential of this place. Living here, I feel connected to the village, but my courtyard offers a peaceful retreat. Over the past four years, I have made significant improvements, including adding a utility room and expanding the garage.

If I could pick this house up and move it, I would! It’s comfortable, low-maintenance, and part of a lovely, welcoming community here in Blackford."
