Seller Insight Housebuilders by trade, we already owned this charming sloping site and wanted to make a home for ourselves on it”, say the current owners. “We instructed an architect to design the house around the slope with two storeys on one side and three on the other. The result is this truly unique home, completely connected to the surrounding landscape and perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike”. “At almost an acre, the garden is impressive too,” say the owners, “totally surrounded by mature trees on all boundaries for privacy and a sense of seclusion. When sitting in the garden, you really wouldn’t know there was anyone else for miles around!” The location of the site was also a big draw for the owners when they decided to build their home here. The highly sought-after village of Swanwick benefits from excellent road links, yet enjoys a tranquil rural setting. “I have lived in this area for most of my life,” says the owner, “so feel very settled here. The house is also ideally placed for commuting, with the A38 and M1 very accessible. The village itself is lovely too, with a quiet yet friendly atmosphere. The property is situated near to local shops and amenities and within walking distance of both Primary and Secondary schools, both Ofsted rated as Good”. “I shall miss the situation of the property, set up on the hillside with views over the valley. I love being part of such a beautiful village, too.” “The large garden with its grassy areas and mature trees is very private and peaceful, the perfect place to relax”. “The sun lounge is a favourite space, allowing us to enjoy the garden come rain or shine. It is the perfect spot to sit and bask in the warmth of natural light and look out at the trees, changing throughout the seasons”. “The property is perfect for entertaining and everyday life alike, with plenty of space both indoors and out. We have been very happy here for 19 years, the house having been a family home not only to our own children growing up here, but also to our grandchildren when they visit us.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
