QUOTE FROM VENDOR
''We love our country cottage with lots of space and flexibility.

In Winter the fireplace and cosy snug are the heart of the house while in summer the garden decking is perfect for entertaining and just listening to the bird song.

As well as the main house we love the annex over the garage where guests (or teenagers) can have their own space and relax.

Upton, with its village hall, summer fete and wine society is a genuinely lovely place to live. Country pubs, walks with the dog and wide open spaces. But easy commuting distance to London.''
