Seller Insight
"Our family has called 15 High Street home for 25 years. Moving here from North London in 1994,
we wanted a countryside lifestyle for our growing family. The south-facing garden, spacious rooms,
and ample parking immediately felt like the perfect fit."

"In 2012, we extended the patio into a large garden room with bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, creating a versatile space that connects the indoors to the outside. It has hosted countless gatherings with friends and family over the years, and it's where we celebrate Christmas and other milestone events. In summer, it’s perfect for breakfast or reading, while in winter, we love the lounge with its wood-burning stove for cosy evenings."

"Our garden, designed by a local architect, feature lime, cherry, larch trees, and black bamboo,
offering year-round beauty with minimal upkeep.”

“The village has a strong, welcoming community, and we've formed many friendships through local
events, our dog walks, and visits to the farm-to-table village pub."

"As our children have grown, it's time to embark on a new chapter, but leaving will be bittersweet.
We’ll miss our cherished walks with our dog Ted, the vibrant village life, and the warmth that has
always greeted us upon returning home."
