What the owners say: This wonderful home has been in our family for the past 35 years and was extended and redesigned for multi-generational living about 10 years ago. This included creating the annex, the first floor apartment and the music room that give this house its uniqueness and flexibility. The house is in an ideal location as it is only a short walk to the town centre yet where we are is very quiet and peaceful but not far from parks and walks in the countryside.
