Seller's Secret
"This has been a perfect place to raise our family, with such easy walking access to the station, schools, shops, leisure facilities and the countryside. We've loved the sunny and spacious house, with its versatile layout: large rooms and our much-loved garden for social gatherings, but also flexibility and privacy for the family to use other spaces independently for working from home, playing instruments, watching TV or smaller scale entertaining. The combination of period character and practicality has been fantastic!"
