Owners Comments
"As soon as we stepped into Avebury we knew that it was not just a lovely house overlooking the New Forest, but an ideal home in which to bring up our family. Both family and home have grown and developed wonderfully over the last three decades."
"Being able to run our business from the new studio has given us great flexibility between home/work life."
