Description
This has been a brilliant family home for us for nearly fifteen years. It was perfect for us as our daughter was growing up and now that we are three adults living here it is even better to be honest. The changes we made in the layout means we have the study in bedroom 4 and our daughter has her own bedroom, complete with a dressing area (bedroom 3 area). There is plenty of space for us all here.This is a lovely area to live, very close to the schools – which was very important to us when we moved here. The local shop is just around the corner and the town itself is not far away. On the other hand the opposite direction offers some superb countryside walks with the dog!
