We feel privileged to have made it home for our young <br />children and have enjoyed the many ways in which the building enables 'the good life' in <br />all seasons. In Spring the garden is a riot of blossom from the mature cherry trees while <br />the sunsets through the west facing kitchen window are ever changing. In Summer the <br />garden is the perfect place to get friends round for a BBQ and the kids love playing out <br />all season. When Autumn arrives we've always looked forward to lighting the fire for the <br />first time and getting cosy, such that when Winter lands the house is always a haven to <br />return to after a walk across the fields. Were it not for work and other life commitments <br />we would not be moving house. We truly love this place and hope to find someone else <br />who will feel the same.
