The Seller Says: We were drawn to Fir Cottage the moment we walked through the gate- it immediately felt like an oasis, tucked away from the pace of everyday life. The light, the generous room sizes and the garden all stood out straight away, and over time it’s become a home that’s worked beautifully for both family life and entertaining. We’ve loved spending time in the living room looking out onto the garden, and the kitchen has naturally become our hub, a place to cook, chat and gather at the end of the day. The garden has been a real highlight too, with different spots to enjoy throughout the day, especially in the evening sun. It’s been a wonderful home for raising a family, with plenty of space inside and out, and we’ll miss not only the house itself but the lifestyle here - particularly the walks down to the river.
