SELLER INSIGHT

We fell in love with this property when we first viewed it, as it seamlessly blends the old and the new. Parts of the property date back to 1600’s and are cob-walled, and enjoy the delights of properties from this time, such as oak floors and doors, exposed beams and the wood burner. The modern extension enhances the property with light and space, providing 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms which has served our family well over the last 21 years.

We were also drawn to the spacious reception room where we have hosted large social gatherings, which would spill out into the wraparound garden through the French doors. The garden is truly a haven for us, with mature shrubs, a wildflower garden, large summerhouse and store, chicken coup, and pond. It is a beautiful spot to watch and enjoy the songbirds, pond life, and other visiting wildlife.

We can often be found enjoying the sunrises over the estuary, sitting in the garden during the day, and relaxing on the balcony in the evenings. The estuary and garden views from the balconies are stunning. Our children have enjoyed watching the trains, especially the steam trains that run every week in the summer. It’s a simple pleasure that brings us all joy. *
