"I've had so many happy times here over the years. It's a quiet and calm space to come home to. The garden is sunny and private so in the summer I am usually found there reading or pottering around. I have a sofa on the decking area which enjoys sunshine from 2pm through to the evening. The downstairs space is cosy and great for small gatherings with friends. Finally. I've enjoyed the many and varied walking and running routes right on my doorstep."
