Perfect Family Home The current owners knew that this was the perfect home for them when they purchased it fifteen years ago. “We loved that it is an upside-down house which has to be viewed to appreciate the benefits!” The property has an ingenious internal layout whereby the living spaces take full and unhindered advantage of the surrounding views and the garden as they are found on the first floor, with the four bedrooms on the ground floor accessed via a hallway. Here there is also an en-suite to the second bedroom, a family bathroom and an abundance of storage space. During their time at the property, the current owners added an extension with a large new kitchen and breakfast room, which also has direct access to a decking area and the gardens outside.

When asked about the room that holds the most memories for them, the owners replied, “It has always been a house full of parties and celebrations when we’ve made such wonderful use of the dining room which overlooks the garden. It’s magical to see the candles flickering against the windows at night.” The privacy the location offers has also meant much to them. “This house isn’t overlooked, which might make you feel that it’s secluded, but it’s not really, being only 140 steps from the local pub, a two-minute walk to the shops, and a two-minute walk to the bus stop.” “We loved that it is an upside-down house which has to be viewed to appreciate the benefits!” “It has always been a house full of parties and celebrations.”

Outside The established gardens are tiered and mainly laid to lawn. “The garden wraps around the house on two different levels, with mature plants and trees, and with space for off-road parking,” the owners commented. “The large deck outside can be easily accessed from the kitchen on the first floor and, in summer, it houses the barbeque for entertaining.”

Village Benefits “Swanton Morley is an amenity village with a great community feel,” the owners said, listing the butchers and the deli, a village store, the primary school, the nurse practitioner-led doctors’ surgery, two public houses and a modern village hall which hosts many village activities. “The annual village firework display ranks alongside the London New Year fireworks!” The inaugural Swanton Morley Festival was held in July 2019 July and around Christmas there are other events including “Carols on the Green” and the Christingle on Christmas Eve itself.
