What the Owners Say
We ve loved living here for nearly 20 years. Surrounded by nature with spectacular views, we enjoy watching the seasons change from the hot tub or cosying up in the Wendy house on winter evenings. The garden has been a true passion full of interesting plants, and a space for growing and cooking our own produce. Whitchurch is a dog walker s paradise, with scenic paths and fields right on our doorstep. Although the house feels wonderfully secluded, it s just a five minute walk to the village and all its amenities.
