SELLER INSIGHT
I moved here in 2004 with my two young daughters. They
say there is a ten second rule for falling in love with a house.
It took me five seconds. As we came up the drive, I knew this house
was the one for us. I can honestly say I have never loved any other
house as much as this one. It is very special.
Initially, it needed a lot of work. We started at the top and worked
downwards: new central heating, all the rooms re plastered, new
windows, new bathrooms and kitchen, new oak flooring, the list goes
on. I have a photo of my mother in the back garden where the weeds
are taller than her and you can only see her hand waving at us.
It was hard work, but well worth it. I have such wonderful memories
of big family gatherings, dancing around the kitchen to the Wurlitzer
and all sitting down to a big Christmas dinner. My elder daughter
had her wedding here, and we were blessed with glorious sunshine
so spent the day celebrating in the garden. Now this house will start
a fresh chapter in its life and I hope that its new owners enjoy it as
much as I have.
