Seller Insight
"We lived on a busy street and wanted to move somewhere quieter with our young family. We knew that we wanted this plot the moment that we turned off the road onto the driveway as there are views for miles and miles in all directions and the setting is peaceful and pretty," say the owners.

"We've lived here for 22 years now and have seen some big changes during that time. We purchased the field next door and built a house that we lived in for a while before we took the opportunity to knock down the original property to build our new dream home. We knew exactly what we wanted and I drew up the plans on a blank piece of paper on a rainy day - I like to think that we got it just right this time."

"Set back from the road on the edge of the village, the only traffic noise that we're likely to hear is the sound of narrowboats chugging down the river. There is wildlife galore here and we can see most of it from the kitchen window, including kingfishers, woodpeckers, herons, deer, and squirrels dancing along the tree branches. There are scenic walks right from our doorstep and there's plenty going on locally with the pub and village hall being at the heart of the community. You can get involved as much as much or as little as you like."

"The house and garden are perfect for family life and entertaining. We've hosted many events here, including breakfast meets where we get together before heading out for the day with our friends. We enjoy quiet time together on the patio and BBQs in the summer. There's plenty of space on the green area for a marquee / party tent, and all in all, it's a large area but easily manageable."

"We tend to spend most of our time in the spacious L-shaped kitchen / dining / sitting area. The sun streams in first thing before moving round to end the day with spectacular sunsets. It's always light, bright, and airy and has lovely views of the garden and riverbank beyond. It's ideal for hosting the family at Christmas and smaller gatherings too as we can all cook together or sit at the island and chat. The en suite is another favourite room as it's marble from top to bottom which is reminiscent of our holidays abroad; it's nice to have a taste of Spain here at home in Benwick."
