Owners Comments
“When we first moved to Hampshire, we spotted King\‘s Somborne whilst driving around. We loved the village and knew we\‘d enjoy living there. We rented for a year before we found somewhere, and after nearly six years our first instinct was definitely right. It\‘s a friendly place, with good amenities, but it\‘s the network of friends that we\‘ve made, who have children of a similar age, that has really made it special.”
“When we first looked at Thyme, it was the location and the size of the garden that attracted us. With two young girls, we\‘ve walked or cycled many times to Stockbridge; straight out of the front door, up Froghole lane and down the Test Way to Stockbridge for lunch. We\‘re not the world\‘s best gardeners, but with the decking, lawn and swings, we have created a garden that we and the girls love.”
