“I'm really going to miss being able to walk my dogs across the fields off-lead."
“The neighbours are all lovely. Being a small hamlet, there's a real sense of community here, with everyone being so friendly.”
“What will I miss the most? My beautiful kitchen/diner. Or maybe the beautiful bathroom? No, my walk-in dressing room. The view from the garden room. The open, wood burning fire. The list could go on and on.”
"It's been a privilege to live here for the last decade and I'll miss just about everything about Cross Fields."
