In the Owner's words:

"We have loved living in the property for the past 26 years. It was the house we brought up our children in who have now all flown the nest and forging lives of their own. We have now retired and spend much of our time traveling and we believe the property now needs to be enjoyed by a new owner. The main reason we chose to purchase the property was its location to the schools along with being in a small but vibrant village which offers all the essential amenities. We needed a large house to accommodate our family and have always been big fans of Victorian architecture. The house, when we purchased it, needed modernising which enable us to put our own ideas into practice which has resulted, in our opinion, a beautiful period house with excellent configuration of the internal living space."
