"When we built our house 23 years ago our dream was a family home for the children to grow up in safe surroundings. Ash is a lovely village with beautiful countryside walks, perfect for dog walking and bike rides and close to beaches. It’s now time for us to say goodbye to the home where we’ve made a lifetime of lovely memories.
The garden has been a space we’ve enjoyed with plenty of room for children to play, a decking area for entertaining and greenhouses for anyone who enjoys growing their own fruit, vegetables or flowers. It’s a garden that’s full of potential and offers something for everyone. The house itself is peaceful, calm and welcoming and it’s perfect all year round, warm and cozy in the winter and bright and airy in the summer. Every room holds a special memory, and we’ve truly loved every moment spent here.
As we begin a new chapter, our greatest hope is that this home will be loved just as much by its next owners and become the setting for many more years of special moments and happy memories. If we could pick it up and take it with us, we would!"
