## Description

What our Owners Love.

Our current owner has loved the village life style and is very fond of her neighbours and the friendly inclusive nature of those living in Chitterne. The rear garden allows you to enjoy the sun rises and sunsets just behind the hill to the rear which is really beautiful and makes a very tranquil feeling. The garden is a great size for a family or those with pets and with the garage now converted to a sculpting type studio there is an immediate perfect set up for a range of different hobbies or skills.
