What the Owner says
We knew the previous owners for many years and have always loved this house and were thrilled when we were able to buy it, however it is now time for us to downsize. It is very convenient as we are only about half a mile from the town centre and the station where fast trains can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half.
