What our Owners Say

It has been an absolute dream to live here and, for us, has allowed us to fulfil a lifelong dream of having our horses at home. The location really is quite spectacular; surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, we have enjoyed an incredible variety of wildlife on our doorstep, together with endless opportunities for long country walks, which invariably culminate in a well-earned tipple at the village pub! We will dearly miss everything that this wonderful home and its surroundings have given us, but we have made the decision to downsize and now feel it is time to pass the baton on to the next family, who we hope will enjoy this very special home as much as we have.

History & Background
