Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining. We didn't cut corners when it came to comfort, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a home that feels luxurious, yet completely practical too. Features like the internal laundry chute have made everyday life that little bit easier. We've taken great care of the house over the years, and it's something we're really proud of. The kitchen is without a doubt our favourite room. It's the heart of the home - somewhere we can cook and spend time together while entertaining. In the summer, opening the doors creates a seamless flow into the garden, while in the colder months it still feels warm and cosy. It's a space that just works, no matter the season. The garden was always central to our vision. With its large wraparound patio, it's peaceful and private - a real escape. It's been the perfect place for long summer days and evenings, with the TV, sound system, and outdoor lighting creating a lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This has always been a home made for entertaining and bringing people together. From movie nights in the cinema room when the children were younger, to hosting Christmas with family returning year after year, it's a house full of life and memories. There's plenty of space for everyone, so it never feels crowded- just warm and welcoming. The community here is something quite rare. It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy.

The extensive grounds create an almost private world of their own, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, gardening, keeping animals, entertaining outdoors or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the countryside. Whether strolling through the arboretum, tending the productive gardens, watching wildlife beside the duck pond or relaxing on one of the property's patio areas as the sun sets over the farmland, Pointers is a home designed to be experienced as much as admired. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling combination of beautifully presented accommodation, exceptional grounds and extensive lifestyle facilities. Pointers is more than a country home; it is a complete rural retreat, offering privacy, tranquillity, space and an enviable connection with the landscape. For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature.
