Current Owners Comments
“Once inside the house you are away from the world but there are plenty of local shops, an award-winning friendly pub and I can walk to the sea or the downs in less than half an hour. My neighbours are wonderful and there is a true community spirit here. I still stand and marvel some mornings when I realise I can look out of the front window and see only greenery. It’s been a privilege to live here”.
