House For Sale £499,000
Owner's insight "Wivenhote has been a wonderful home for us over the past fifteen years, providing us with the space needed for our three children. We have dramatically changed the house, tailoring it to our personal requirements, but the old house will give the flexibility to adapt if a new owner's needs differ. The location was paramount in our decision to move here, with schools, town and local shops all walking distance. The parking was also advantageous, with most families now needing space to park several vehicles and storage within the garage.
It is with a heavy heart we took the decision to move, however, the realisation is we simply don't need the space now our children have grown and flown the nest."
