Seller Insight "Providence place has been our home for the past nine years. I longed for a home full of character. I've always believed that when you walk into the right house, it speaks to your soul and this one did just that. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew it was the one. Although it had already been sold, fate had other plans. In a twist of serendipity, it became available again, and we submitted an offer that very same day." "We saw the potential immediately. What I envisioned back then is now what stands today, and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved." "Over the years, we have lovingly modernised and updated the house for contemporary family life. It has been a true labour of love. We've retained beautiful period features, exposed beams still bearing the blacksmith's original markings, and authentic stonework, each detail a nod to the home's history." "Every room in this house has served multiple purposes over the years, evolving with us as our lives changed. Our cosy snug, for instance, has been a playroom, an office, and now a relaxing retreat. Each space in this home has adapted and grown with us, and I genuinely love every one of them." "The garden has become one of my favourite places to be and we've transformed it completely, creating a haven that is both practical and beautiful. We even purchased additional land next door to extend our outdoor space. Now, we have two distinct garden areas. It's wonderfully private, south-facing, and backs onto open fields, offering views that change with the seasons. Friends often describe it as feeling like you could be anywhere in the world, thanks to its peace and seclusion." "Perfect for entertaining. it has a wonderful flow and a surprising amount of space. We've hosted many gatherings here and are well known in the village for our annual May barbecues, which welcome 60–70 guests. We've enjoyed live music in the garden, outdoor cinema nights with friends, and countless other special moments." "The local community is truly special, warm and welcoming. The village pub is the heart of it all. We've developed close bonds here and have made lifelong friends. The church and village hall are equally inviting, hosting everything from bingo nights to live bands. The area offers wonderful dog walks, scenic bridleways for horse riding, and the local cricket club is always bustling with activity on weekends. It's a place where everyone is made to feel at home." "Although the time feels right to start a new chapter, if I could take this house with me, I would. From the moment I first walked through the door all those years ago, it has felt like home. There is a peace and synergy here that's difficult to put into words. It's my sanctuary, a place where I have always felt safe and at ease and leaving it will be incredibly hard."
