Seller Insight
I have loved the peace and tranquillity of the area and the views are an everchanging tapestry whatever the season or weather.
At the end of the lane there are public footpaths to explore the countryside and when I have the time, walks up to The Pepperpot, into the village of Chale or Niton or just down to the local public house are a enjoyable way to spend some downtime.
I have been very happy living here for the past sixteen years and will be very sad to leave and am only doing so as I have decided to retire abroad.”*
