What The Owners say

This has been our dream home and it has been amazing to have our cherished alpacas living at home with us. When we first viewed the property we couldn’t believe how much accommodation was actually here and actually thought that the double garage/ potential annexe was a separate property altogether that wasn’t included in the sale, so it was a lovely bonus to be told that it was in fact included! We will dearly absorbing the stunning views over the River Blackwater every day but we have decided to relocate back to Suffolk to be closer to our family.
