“We first viewed the property on a summer’s day 22 years ago and we knew straight away that this would be the perfect home for us. At the time our three children were all under five years old so we needed a home that could grow with us as a family. It is a tranquil, wonderful family home with an enclosed south facing garden making it ideal for children of all ages and pets.”

“Over the years we have made many improvements to the house both inside and out. Outside we re-landscaped the garden which now has an

undulating lawn which gently slopes towards the property. We have created a large

patio area with an outdoor barbeque which we use regularly for al fresco dining and

there is also a water feature. The garden is a light, quiet and relaxing space where

I love spending my spare time. Inside the home we have redesigned the kitchen to

create a blend of modern and traditional. We used the well-known bespoke designs

of Mark Wilkinson to create an open and welcoming social space.”


“We converted the loft space to create a fifth bedroom, with dressing room, sitting and study area and en suite which

provides a great area for teenage children. It also makes an ideal guest suite.”
