Owner's comments

"We moved into this property which previously belonged to my parents when we wanted to start a family of our own. We spent the time renovating the whole property to start our family. We then had a child and made plenty of memories, expanding our family with another child, we therefore extended the property further. This property has been our home now for over 10 years, it has absolutely stunning surroundings, peace, lovely neighbours, school buses pass the door - all we could ever ask for. We are expanding our business and the kids are growing, so we personally need some extra land, if we could pick our home up and move it with us we would! We hope that someone can move here instead and appreciate it just as much as we have!"
