Seller Insight Step inside this conveniently located six bed property and you will quickly see why the current owners fell head over heels in love with it 18 years ago. “We were initially attracted to the spacious living room and kitchen, as well as the stunning view over the mature garden” recalls the current owner. “My wife and I purchased the property back in 1998 and have happily resided here ever since. Our son has grown up here and now lives along side us with his wife and a son of their own, so it truly is a house for all generations to enjoy.” The property provides excellent facilities downstairs including three reception rooms and an exquisite bespoke kitchen. From the living room there is access to the vast garden, which is superb for hosting BBQs and garden parties for up to 150 people! The garden is well stocked with borders of colourful roses and perennials. In the autumn, fruit trees provide home grown produce and acorns fall from the majestic ancient oak trees. The grounds and the surrounding lakes and park land beyond are host to a great variety of native wildlife including squirrels and water fowl, making it an excellent place to relax and become at one with nature.

The house is in a very professional area and we have very good neighbours. You have your own private sanctuary within a close and welcoming community.
