Owners insight "It's hard to leave this house. We've had 40 years and it's been a joy. Quiet, lovely sea views, garden for the kids, sunny spaces, shady spaces, shops nearby and good schools. There are sharing spaces and quiet spaces, even hiding spaces. It's just more than our current needs so time to find as good again. "
