A NOTE FROM OUR VENDORS
We have enjoyed many years in our Leonard Stanley home, bringing up family and welcoming our grandchildren. It has been a peaceful haven and we loved the view and walks across the park and around the pretty village. The walk along nearby Gypsy Lane taking in the outstanding views and wildlife is something we loved, stopping at the farm for milk, eggs and sometimes milkshakes with the grandchildren. We hope someone else can now enjoy this home and beautiful area while we start a new adventure for our retirement.
