Seller Insight This is the first time in around 150 years that the property has been on the market as a residential dwelling. It has enjoyed an interesting

past as various shops central to village life since the early 1800s. Originally it was a series of 3 cottages that were converted into retails units with the driveway being where the managers cottage used to be. It was rebuilt as it is now in 1895 following a fire in one of the shops caused by an oil lamp, We purchased the property 22 years ago knowing it would make an ideal home for us from where we could also run our antiques business,” say the current owners.

“When we first purchased the property, we lived upstairs whilst running our shop from the downstairs space. After several years, we decided to close the shop and applied for planning permission to convert into a house. My husband designed the layout and we spent nearly 3 years converting the house to reflect its Victorian origins.”

“The location has been fabulous too. Set in the middle of the friendly village, washing the windows or cars can become a long winded task as passers-by stop to chat. There is a great sense of community and there’s always something going on around the village .

We love that we can be walking in fields within a couple of minutes or it’s just 10 minutes in the car to the M1, we can be in London in just over an hour. By train you can easily be at your desk in the city by 8.30. It really is the best of both worlds.”

“The garden was a wilderness when we moved in, so we set about creating the large patio area with raised beds as well as our own vegetables patch. It’s a very secluded space with mature trees It’s a perfect sun trap as we enjoy the sun from first thing in the morning until late in the evening. The outlook is fabulous too as we have views over gardens and paddocks at the back and the village church from the front.”

“The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. Double doors open up to create a lovely flow, when we had a barbeque for our wedding party here 90 guests fitted into the house and garden quite easily. We’ll miss this space and the high ceilings in the sitting room that always stays beautifully cool in the height of summer, as well as those relaxing moments spent reading a book in the cosy conservatory whilst it’s snowing outside.”*
