SELLER INSIGHT
We purchased Cedars Farm in 2001 and embarked on a transformative journey, renovating every nook and cranny of the property so that we could call it home come 2003. Arriving with a vision, we brought several trees with us, which have now flourished into magnificent silver birches and stately cedars, lending an air of maturity and grandeur to our grounds.”
“Among its many highlights our affinity for the kitchen, with its seamless flow into the sunroom, is matched only by the breath-taking views from the master bedroom—a testament to the thoughtful design and attention to detail evident throughout the home.”
“Having spent most of our lives in this area, we recognised the untapped potential of this place. Envisioned as a haven for horses, it also made an ideal family abode, conveniently located near prestigious schools. The outbuildings provided the perfect accommodations for my father in his self-contained cottage, while also serving as functional spaces for my business endeavours.”
“Our generosity extends beyond our doorstep, as we annually open our gardens to the village community. Each section of our meticulously planned landscape offers its own allure, from the formal elegance with its meticulously manicured hedges to the enchanting wildlife sanctuary. Our horses gracefully roam the fields below, adding to the picturesque views that we’re privileged to witness daily.”
“Our garden holds a special place in our hearts, a labour of love that fills us with immense pride. It even features a quaint chapel, repurposed into a potting shed—a charming blend of tradition and functionality. What sets our garden apart is its timeless allure, captivating visitors with its beauty no matter the season. With unobstructed views stretching over the river and countryside, our home epitomises serenity and seclusion, nestled within 9 acres of land it offers an uninterrupted connection with nature.”
“Summer brings the house to life, with ample opportunities for entertaining amidst the blossoming gardens and inviting summer house, where evenings are spent basking in the warm glow of a coal fire.”
“Though the house may now seem too expansive, our love for the area ensures our steadfast commitment to remaining. Offering the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and urban convenience, the village embodies a vibrant community spirit, evident in its welldeserved accolades and lively annual events.”
“With a medieval church as our neighbour, Cedars Farm offers not just privacy, but a sense of security—a sanctuary for our seven beloved grandchildren, who revel in the endless adventures and simple joys found within these grounds such as playing hide and seek or enjoying an ice cream on the stone benches.”
“As we bid farewell to this beloved abode, we carry with us a deep sense of pride for the haven we’ve meticulously crafted—a true testament to the power of vision, dedication, and unwavering love for this place we’ve called home.”*
