| Diana's Comment | x . Dianas comment: This is a loved and special family home to live in with many delightful features and spaces. The kitchen diner lounge is full of light and warmth. The combination of modern facilities and traditional character makes the home functional and natural to live in. The rear garden with its dry-stone brook culvert has little water falls that you can see and hear when in the garden which catches the sun all day. The rear garden is south facing and a magnet for birds and bees.
