Ross loves: 'Leigh' is the epitome of the perfect family home, if I was looking myself I'd be sorely tempted! The distinct period features are a delight including the unique turreted staircase but for me I absolutely love the spacious and airy feel, it is an incredibly welcoming home and it doesn't surprise me that the current owners have stayed for so long, raising their family here. The garden needs a mention, as a keen gardener myself (who lacks the time to do so with a busy family schedule) this garden is PERFECT! Whilst it is sizeable - plenty big enough for children to kick a ball around, play hide and seek and for you to 'grow your own' in the raised beds, its still low maintenance and simplistic being predominantly laid to lawn. The location of course is lovely, tucked away yet conveniently situated on the edge of the village with all the facilities you could need close at hand, together with a friendly community.
The owners love: This has been our cherished family home for 46 years, chosen for its wonderful secluded yet convenient position and its large family friendly garden backing onto fields. During our time here and whilst raising our two children, we have extended the house quite substantially to suit family life, with a more recent focus on making it more low maintenance and energy efficient, with new windows three years ago and solar panels with battery storage, amongst other things. The oak in the back garden was planted as an acorn by our daughter some 40 years ago! The sea is about a mile away “as the crow flies”. Our private road is quiet and gives easy access to the village. The village itself is very well appointed – from doctor’s surgery, through dentist, to food shops, hardware store and pubs/restaurants and 2 schools. We will of course miss 'Leigh' but the time has come for us to downsize.
