Seller Insight
“The Ferns has been our home for the past seven years. Moving from London, we were drawn to its perfect balance of location, charm, and the ideal environment for raising a family. The day we viewed it was a beautiful, sunny afternoon—the back doors were open, and the house felt effortlessly inviting and full of light. It was simply stunning both inside and out.”

“Over the years, we have lovingly cared for and enhanced the property. We updated the kitchen and fully renovated the bathroom when we first moved in, ensuring modern comfort while preserving the home’s character. A new boiler has been installed, and the house benefits from approved planning permission to extend into a five-bedroom home with an open-plan layout at the rear, offering an exciting opportunity for the next owners.”

“One of our favourite spaces is the lounge, a cosy space featuring the original marble fireplace, which makes for a wonderful focal point in the colder months. Yet, in summer, the space transforms, bathed in natural light and opening out onto the garden, making it perfect all year-round. The kitchen-living area is another highlight—designed for both practicality and entertaining, it is truly the heart of the home.”

“The house has been a wonderful social space, flowing effortlessly for gatherings. We also have a dedicated playroom, a favourite among our friends and their children - it provides a fantastic space for little ones to enjoy, keeping the home both functional and family-friendly. Meanwhile, the main lounge benefits from French doors that open directly onto the garden, further enhancing the home’s connectivity and flow.”

“The garden is a fantastic south-facing space, offering beautiful sunsets and endless potential. It’s a wonderful blank canvas for the next owners, with mature apple and fig trees that provide delicious fruit each summer.”

“Beyond the home itself, we have loved being part of this wonderful community. The street is a perfect blend of young families and long-standing residents, street parties, weekly pub quizzes, and excellent local schools have made this an exceptional place to live. Our children have loved attending Stageworks, which is just a stone’s throw away, and the area is fantastic for dog walking and running routes. Our neighbours have become good friends, and we feel incredibly lucky to have been part of this special community.”

“As we move on, there is so much we will miss—the grandeur of the Victorian features, the high ceilings, the beautiful fireplaces, and the charming curb appeal that first stole our hearts. We have treasured the ability to step outside and be in the heart of town, with everything at our fingertips. The Ferns has been a truly wonderful home, and we hope it brings as much joy to its next owners as it has to us.”
