Owner's perspective - "We feel very privileged to have brought up our family in this beautiful house. The overall feeling of living here is one of peaceful privacy and quietness which is remarkable given that we are in the heart of Boylestone village. Waking up to nothing but birdsong is wonderful, and stress seems to drain away as you walk round the garden. It’s also been a great place for family celebrations with a marquee on the lawn always creating a sense of occasion. Being surrounded in the garden by abundant wildlife (pheasants, squirrels owls, bats etc.) and outside by truly breathtakingly beautiful countryside has been very special with lots of great walks directly from the front gate. I don’t think our dog realises how lucky he is!
It’s also been fun to be a part of the thriving village community where there’s a club for almost every imaginable activity, not to mention the several annual competitions from decorated Christmas trees in winter to a duck race and homemade scarecrows in summer.
We are sad to be leaving this home that we love and are sure that the next owners will also build many happy memories here."
