What the Owner says:
We will be sad to leave what has been our home for the past 42 years however health issues mean we have to move. In such a rural setting with a thriving village and so many amenities on our doorstep, which includes the nearby coast, we feel that we have had the best of all worlds. An extra bonus is that the field opposite our home is part of an ancient trust and cannot be built on.
