“I remember saying “I would give anything to live there!” when we first viewed the property, and it has lived up to my dreams. We have thoroughly enjoyed our 50 years here, raising a large family and making the most of the space offered by the lovely house and garden. Our children, and subsequently their children, have run wild in the gardens, and have enjoyed helping harvest the many fruits and vegetables we have grown. We will all miss that.The neighbours are all friendly and helpful so we will be sad to leave. However, we have decided that now is the right time to downsize and move on to be closer to our family in Surrey.”
