Seller Insight It was on retirement from operating a large farm that the family purchased this property. Built in the mid 1950s the location of the house was perfection but did require some t.l.c. They rose to the challenge and undertook a major project to increase the size of their new home and add to its conveniences and comforts. Not a stone was left unturned to ensure that the house met with their exacting specification. A cellar was dug to accommodate a large wine collection, plus extra reception and bedrooms rooms were added, including lots of practical and luxurious amenities. The year round conservatory leads from both dining and reception rooms and is much loved, whether it be as extra space when large groups of friends and family are visiting or, more particularly, a splendid space in which to relax on cold winter days and enjoy the garden and its visiting wildlife. Such a spacious, elegant, home is perfect to welcome friends and family and such occasions have been numerous, with the house and garden often utilised for local fund raising events. Steps from the elevated partio lead down onto a further area providing lots of space for al fresco dining with a splendid outlook into the large garden. There is also a productive orchard and the compact barn at the end of the garden is home for barn owls. Although beautifully tucked away in this quiet village, everything required is close at hand.
