Sellers Insight

"Formerly the old Rectory, this house was purchased by our parents 45 years ago and has remained in the family as a very happy home for all this time. 43 years ago our sister bought the house next door down to raise her family, and is still living there, then our youngest brother bought the house next up, also raising his family and only left 6 years ago to downsize to a bungalow.

For 45 years this house has been filled with family, laughter and love. Long may this continue...!"
