A note from the owners
About our house.Step inside our home! We’ve shaped it with a love for style, comfort, and practicality, making it a cosy and welcoming place to live.We love clean, uncluttered spaces, which is why we installed extensive fitted wardrobes throughout – so spacious they could practically fit an elephant!The recently renovated bathroom is a true sanctuary, featuring a stunning freestanding bath (big enough for two) and a large corner shower that makes every morning feel like a spa experience. Every aspect has been carefully considered to balance functionality and style, from the bespoke, made-to-measure shutters to the sleek sockets and light switches throughout, to the installation of a smart thermostat and boiler control for enhanced comfort and efficiency."One of the best things about this home is how it changes with the seasons. In summer, the bi-fold garden doors open up to bring the outdoors in, creating the perfect space for entertaining or unwinding in the fresh air. In winter, the thoughtfully designed lighting keeps things warm and cosy, and from the sofa, you can enjoy watching the garden’s lively wildlife – squirrels, cats, birds, and the occasional curious foxes, all year round. We made sure to plant evergreen plants so that the garden remains green and lush in the winter!The kitchen is very functional, with plenty of storage, with individual built in full size fridge and freezers and a gas hob, perfect for those who love to cook.The house is filled with natural light, making it bright and uplifting all year round.We truly love this home, and the only reason we’re moving is that we’ve found a house with an annex to accommodate our family-in-law. Otherwise, we’d happily stay forever.
