Sellers Story
The character and space were the main reasons why we bought this house. The spacious garden and the added value of having the annexe were a great asset for the summer months with having the children!
We had difficulty in finding a house that offers such large bedrooms throughout, another reason why we bought this house. The cellar was also attractive although we never get around to converting it.
We love the living room in the winter, it provides a very cosy warm feel, offering a beautiful space and fire. In the summer we love the kitchen, opening up the double doors to the large garden, which gave us a great space to use with the children.
Every year the Christmas light tractor run goes past the house which is special. We also hold a lot of families children’s parties at the house with us having a lot of space in the garden, to fit multiple inflatables
We have thoroughly enjoyed living here. This was our first family home and definitely one we have loved, and a shame to sell. We enjoyed making this house our home. The kids have plenty of places to play (and hide) so they never get bored.
We will miss the space, coziness, character and it feeling like ‘home’, but right now for us we need to be closer to our family.
Detail;
A fireplace in the master bedroom with a beautiful new en-suite.
We have converted one of the bedrooms to a walk in wardrobe, as that’s what worked best for us with the space.
The annexe is completed with its own bedroom, living area, kitchen and shower room.
The kitchen has underfloor heating and built in speakers (great for events).
The house has been modernised and freshened up since we moved in, with new carpets/flooring throughout.
It will make a beautiful family home.
