SELLER INSIGHT Thirty-three years ago, we discovered a plot of land and crafted our dream home, a charming country-style house with a distinctive hipped roof. It has been the heart of our family life, witnessing the growth of our children and fostering strong ties with our wonderful local community. Nestled among only four houses on the street, our home exudes character that has evolved alongside us over the years.”

“We’ve continually modernised and personalised our abode to suit our changing needs, seamlessly integrating features like a sauna and wet room upstairs, along with a thoughtfully designed dressing area. Crafted by a skilled local builder, every corner of our home reflects our vision and preferences.”

“In our lounge, the wood-burning stove nestled within the inglenook radiates warmth and charm.

It truly stands out as a beloved feature of our home as it is adorned with age-old stones steeped in history, salvaged from a nearby brewery centuries ago. Lighting the fire for many years released a faint scent of hops, adding to the cosy ambiance of our living space.”

“My favourite room in the house is the garden room. With its vaulted ceiling and abundant morning sunlight, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee. As the sun filters through the windows, casting a warm glow over the surrounding land, I find it incredibly calming to sit and simply watch the world go by.”

“Beyond our rear windows unfolds a breath-taking panorama, extending over our expansive plot to reveal uninterrupted views of the picturesque countryside. The adjacent land, home to horses and intersected by interesting local footpaths and bridle ways, offers a serene backdrop to our daily lives. A short walk from the house is a picturesque brook and ford which runs throughout the village with numerous other walks and places to explore offering picture postcard views.”

“Elm trees planted on the property commemorate milestones in our children’s lives, preserving the legacy of the land’s previous inhabitants while creating new memories of our own. An annex nestled within the garden, affectionately dubbed the “departure lounge,” has provided a temporary haven for our children as they transitioned into independent living—a source of both laughter and nostalgia for our family.”

“The allure of village life initially drew us here, offering a balance between rural tranquillity and convenient access to amenities, making it an ideal location for commuters and families alike.

Active participation in the local community, from serving on the parish council to volunteering, has enriched our lives and cemented our sense of belonging.”

“As we prepare to bid farewell to this beloved haven, we’ll miss the breath taking views and the tranquil ambiance of rural life—where deer roam freely and pheasants gracefully strut across the garden. Yet, we’ll carry with us cherished memories of this idyllic retreat, forever grateful for the joy it has brought to our family.”* *These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
