SELLER INSIGHT I lived here with my parents until I left home, but always had such fond memories of life here and was very emotionally attached to the cottage. I was able to purchase the property but, sadly it was beyond repair and had to be demolished. I was determined to rebuild the cottage into a home which retained its special magic, but one adaptable to the needs of a growing family. Whilst living in a caravan on my land, I designed and built this beautiful property into one which contains all the comforts and luxuries of modern day living but also a home which respects the history of its past. Constructed in local stone, I was able to incorporate the only remaining stone wall from the original cottage into my new home. This features in the main living/dining space and blends in beautifully. This large space is multi-functional and, also, features an attractive stone fireplace which houses the multi fuel fire. Being totally involved with the project, I was able to specify high quality fixtures and fittings, alongside natural wood, all of which add to the charm of my home. It is an exceptionally flexible house with lots of adaptable space. The main living area enjoys spectacular views, opening out onto a spacious patio and into the garden. It is the ideal spot for family BBQs or when entertaining large numbers of friends and family.” “Being surrounded by natural woodland, the backdrop of the house is spectacular, whilst the views from the front are equally breathtaking. There is lots of natural pastureland with plenty of room for horses. The space has been invaluable with my energetic sons and their friends having lots of safe space for adventures, or boisterous games of football.” “One of the many joys of living here is the convenient access to schools, shopping, sport and leisure opportunities, alongside excellent road and rail links. This is teamed with fabulous countryside, and the peace and tranquillity to be experienced living here. Such joys mean lots of sadness when I say farewell to this truly magical home in such a location.”*
