A message from the owners :
When we bought this house it was way past the limit of our budget and we didn't sleep for a month afterwards. However, 25 years and a lifetime of priceless family memories later it has proved to be the best decision of our lives.
We were "sold" the first time we beheld the gorgeous rear garden. 25 years later we still pinch ourselves to think that WE own this view!
If you want a home that will be the foundation of the next 25 years of priceless memories for your active, sporty, fun-loving, garden-loving extended family and friends then we hope you are the next owner.
