When we first came across the house 20 years ago, we were instantly drawn to the setting…a lovely balance of village life and countryside living. It felt like the perfect place for our children to grow up, with a large open garden giving them all the space and freedom to run, play, and explore - and host many a festival and party in the garden.
Inside, we ’ ve made changes to suit our lifestyle and truly make it a home, opening the layout to create a more flowing, open plan feel that works beautifully for both family life and entertaining. The house now feels light, sociable, and truly ours, blending the original character with a modern way of living.
We’ve loved the peacefulness here. There’s a real sense of calm, and the village has such a friendly, welcoming feel. It’s been a joy to step out the front door and be spoilt for choice with daily walks through the surrounding countryside and forest trails.
It’s a special place - offering the perfect blend of open space, nature, and freedom, while still being well connected to nearby towns and travel networks. The best of both worlds.
