Our vendor says... A wonderful house in a peaceful countryside location. The south facing garden is a beautiful place to relax and leads to many walks from the doorstep. The house has lots of space - we have loved the conservatory in the summer and the log burner in the winter! It has been a perfect family home for us, set in a lovely friendly village.
