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. We’re moving to be closer to family, and we know it’s the right time. We truly hope the next family will love this home as much as we have.”
