What The Seller Says
\"From the front this house is modest and discreet but from the rear it is private yet idyllically rural. Local bridle and cycle paths allow opportunities to explore the countryside and view a variety of wild-life including barn-owls, herons and deer. A lovely, light and airy house in a welcoming village close to a characterful city with excellent road and rail links. What's not to like?Grandchildren call us elsewhere but many fond memories will remain.\"
