It was the quiet, peaceful location of Meadow View which first attracted us to the property back in 1987,” say the current owners of this beautiful 4 bedroom rural home. “I was working in at the time and loved the prospect of having a green retreat to go home to at the end of a long day.”

“The house and gardens have now been a haven for us for more than three decades,” the owners continue. “The house itself is ideal for everyday life and entertaining alike, with a generous L-shaped footprint opening out through patio doors from both the lounge and the dining room onto the garden. The gardens, meanwhile, stretch out to the front and rear, giving a feeling of space around the house.”

“To the front of the house, the property benefits from plenty of off road parking,” say the owners, “set in a single track lane. A bank shields us from any traffic noise from passing tractors, the ground rising up to the front door and edged with plants. Seating outside the bay window of the dining room looks over the front lawn, providing a pleasant spot to enjoy our morning coffee. The rear garden is lovely too, with flowerbeds, shrubs and a mature beech hedge which we planted when we arrived here more than 30 years ago.”

The local area has much to recommend it, too. “Grimscote is a very quiet yet sociable village,” say the owners, “with various groups and clubs meeting regularly at Cold Higham village hall, including an enthusiastic bridge society. We like to walk across the fields to the pub in the next village, too. Meanwhile, London is within commuting distance for those wishing to travel to the Capital for work.”

“The lounge benefits from a double aspect view of the garden, and with a balcony overhanging the French doors, is wonderfully cool in summer.”

“We shall miss being able to simply step out of the front door and walk along the lane then across the fields to the pub in the next village.”

“There is a lovely circular walk around the village past the duck pond, which has become a favourite route of ours during our time here.”

“This property is ideal for entertaining, with two sets of patio doors at right angles linking the indoor and outdoor living spaces for an easy flow between house and garden.”*
