Vendors Comment

We have lived here for 42 years. We saw the house on a Friday in May, when the verges were white with Queen Anne's Lace. On the Sunday we made an offer and in July we moved in. We never regretted it. There is nothing like stepping out of the door early on a summer morning. Our children knew nothing else. They could walk over the fields to play with their friends, or play in the brook or in the woods.

As the children grew up, we extended the house to give us more space, and managed to fill it with more friends.
