How the home owners feel about their property :

Its an extremely quiet place to live; once you get the behind the gate you are secluded in an oasis of greenery and calm.

We have a variety of birds that visit, the house is filled with bird song in the mornings and early evenings

There is mature grape vine growing in the front courtyard and on the terrace. Yielding fruit seasonally.

In the winter months you hunker down in front of the wood burner but from Spring the house comes alive. We usually throw all the doors open and try and let the outside in.

The house is very energy efficient. We rarely put the heating on even in the middle of winter. Typically, we run it for 30 mins max in the winter and its enough to keep the house toasty warm. On days where its particularly cold we will use the log burner and it will warm the house for hours.

Whatever the season, there is always the changing skies above your head to gaze at through the roof lantern.
