The vendors have given a testimony of their time spent in their family home : We have loved living in this house for the past 18 years. Our children went to the local primary school and we would often take them straight to the beach after school all through the seasons for play dates, picnics and sometimes dinner. They have grown up with the outside lifestyle of the sea, the nature reserve at Hengistbury Head and the river at Wick. We have used our canoe, paddle boards and bikes throughout the year. The garden has been a joy as it offers shelter when there is a wind and in the summer we can always find sunshine as well as shade. We can glimpse the sea from the house and hear the waves on a calm day which never fails to be delightful. The neighbours are lovely and we know nearly everyone in the street. We were welcomed from the moment we arrived and have really valued this community. We are very sad to go but we are in a new chapter of our lives now our children have left home and a different experience awaits us. We hope that whoever buys this will love it as much as we have.
