Seller Insight We have enjoyed living in our home whilst our youngest Daughter has grown up. It has been the setting for many memorable occasions including celebrating our eldest Daughter’s wedding, the birth of our Grandchildren plus many Christmas, New Year and birthday parties. Our home is set in the middle of a very private plot yet in the heart of the village enabling you to take advantage of the friendly community (particularly the great village pub) or enjoy your own seclusion. The house has really lent itself to socialising, with the kitchen/ sitting/dining area being a great place for many of our friends and family to gather. Having plenty of upstairs space has also enabled visitors to stay and enjoy their own privacy. The gardens have allowed plenty of space for all the children (young and old) to have fun and explore, with the greenhouse and raised beds providing plenty of tomatoes and vegetables each year. One small but really important factor for us is that the roads into and around Flecknoe are salted throughout the winter meaning that we have been able to get to work and school without issue in all the time we have lived here.’ * These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.
