Seller Insight    “We were looking for a home which would also accommodate our business needs, when we came across The Cottage,” say the current owners. “This three-bedroom detached house, with its large external office space to one side, suited all our requirements. What’s more, the peace and quiet of the property held great appeal. Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “Most of the enhancements we have made have been external,” they say, “including the installation of electric gates and a car port, and relandscaping the garden. We have also converted the summerhouse into additional office space, while leaving scope for it to be turned back into living accommodation should the next owners wish to do so. Inside, the loft space has been transformed into a playroom, which our children love.”
