SELLERS COMMENTS
"No.23 has been our beloved home for the past seven years. During this time we carefully modernised it by restoring the windows, installing a new roof and adding a garden room with a view of the river, where we have often seen kingfishers and otters pass by. Gathering around the traditional fireplaces in winter and rowing on the river from our garden in the summer have been personal highlights"
