Owner's perspective - "This house works for me because it is warm, light and spacious. And I love the fact that the garden is not overlooked.
I love the south east orientation which floods the back room with sunlight in the morning while the cat sits on my lap and I do the crossword. Later in the day I might bask with coffee in the south facing conservatory and finish the day with the last rays of light in the “bus shelter” at the end of the garden.
Or, I can step outside the door and have a walk in the countryside. The cat loves the lack of traffic and is entertained by the large number of dog walkers who pass the door.
Living here has been easy and joyful and I will be sad to leave."
