“Since moving into the property, we have

restored the beams to a rich honey colour and

fully reinsulated the roof. As well as this we have

redecorated the property to create a calm and

relaxing family home. Everyone who visits our

property comments on how much they love it

and the relaxed atmosphere it creates.”

“Having lived at the property for just under three decades it is hard to decide what we will miss the most. Our house is beautiful but we have many friends in the

village who have been wonderful too and the village is full of life.

There is an active yoga club, bowls club, gun club, and over 50s

companions club,” continues Lindi.

“As well as excellent community clubs for adults, the village has its own

primary school while Haverhill is just a short drive away and is home to a popular

arts theatre and leisure centre with a swimming pool and gym.”


“When we first bought the home we remodelled the garden to create a beautiful space. The driveway for the property used to

divide the lawn and so we redirected it to allow for more space. We now have a vegetable patch and patio area allowing us

to enjoy the British sunshine!”
