Owners’ Comments
With the test valley outside the front door, we've spent many happy days walking the test way to local pubs or picnicking by the river while fly fishing It's been a real family home to us, our three children and now the grandchildren, who love playing in the garden or walking through the "secret pathways" to local playing fields and the village shop.
