Seller Insight

Nestled within generous south facing gardens in the charming hamlet of Crowfield, which itself is set in rolling countryside, we fell in love with the setting of Wiston House right away,” say the current owners of this superb family home. “Having come from a small cottage, we were also impressed with how light and airy the house felt.”

“That was 30 years ago, and since then we have made various improvements to the property,” the owners continue. “We opened up the ground floor to provide a large kitchen diner perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike; as well as creating a snug complete with woodburning stove for cosy winter nights, and a peaceful study for reading or working from home.”

Outside, the south facing gardens serve as an extension of the house itself in the warmer months of the year. “We have a wonderfully sunny terrace with a pergola and vine, which is a lovely area for al fresco dining,” the owners say. “The size of the garden has been a great advantage for our children, hosting different occasions as they have grown up: from teddy bear’s picnics and bouncy castle birthday parties when they were younger, to camping around a campfire with friends as teenagers. We take pride in the pleasing aesthetic of the garden, having screened off utilities and the shed with willow hurdles. The enclosed herb garden, vegetable patch and greenhouse – it is such a joy to watch things grow and bring them from garden to table.”

Indeed, it is partly the outdoor lifestyle which makes this property so appealing. “We love the peace and quiet of the hamlet’s rural aspect,” say the owners, “with ancient woodland on one side, and agricultural land on the other. It is fantastic to be able to step out of our door onto miles of bridleways and footpaths. Enjoyment of the countryside is an interest common to all who live in Crowfield, and we often bump into friends and neighbours when out walking – we often joke that people here tend to greet one another by the names of their dogs! Watching the lambs in the fields in spring is a pleasure which never gets old, too. Yet, despite the tranquil setting, we are well placed for amenities and education, with at least two good village schools close by, and secondary schools just four miles away in the next town.”*

Also benefiting from parking to the front for several cars. This family home must be viewed to be appreciated.
