Owner's perspective - "This has been a fantastic family house that has made great memories for over three decades.
The large dining area and kitchen have seen numerous celebrations and the fantastic private garden has been enjoyed by several generations all the way down to recent great grandchildren. Ample sleeping space has meant being able to regularly accommodate those family members who have moved further afield when we all get together. A variety of local walks, literally from the doorstep, have even kept the visiting dogs happy!"
