Vendor´s Statement "After 22 very happy years in our beautiful house, bringing up our children and grandchildren, the time has come to down size and enjoy our retirement. We have improved and maintained our home while retaining its special historic character. We have loved sitting in our secluded walled garden watching the birds, bees and other wildlife including frogs and newts in the pond. It has been incredibly convenient having so many local services and amenities on our doorstep including shops, pubs, cafes, schools, public transport and Needham Lake. We have enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the high street and friendly community spirit."
