What the Owner says:
When we saw the house, we could see that extensive work needed to be carried out, but I knew it had great potential to become a beautiful family home. As soon as we bought it, I immediately began renovations. Over the years it’s metamorphosised - growing alongside our two children to become our cherished home and business.
The gardens are so large, they suited my business excellently and soon became very lucrative, combining my love of animals with business acumen. The kennels will remain along with the many outbuildings over the grounds, including gorgeous log cabins which could be adapted for many different uses and large sheds for tools and equipment.
There is also a double garage adjoining the house, although we designed the drive to accommodate multiple cars if needs be.
Renovations neared completion seeing the roof structure completely replaced which was one of the largest projects undertaken on the building. It is a testament to our long-term planning into creating the perfect living space.
Being set back from the other houses in the area, we aren’t overlooked and I especially love my Grandson’s room for the enchanting view. After I take a bath, I can lay there and look out at our magnificent weeping willow. I love doing this, it’s so peaceful to watch as the branches gently sway in the breeze.
