DingleDINGLE COTTAGE

Sarah and Roger bought Dingle Cottage in 2003. “When we bought it, it was a three bedroom cottage but over the years we have transformed and extended it into a five bedroom house,” explains Sarah. “As well as the house we have added a detached sun room/office, as my husband runs his business from home,” says Sarah.

When asked what their main reasons for buying Dingle Cottage, Sarah explained:

“It had everything; the location, perspective and

the wow factor. It gives you a feeling that you

cannot bottle.” Indeed, it is very distinctive as it is

a ‘black and white’ period property with a small

babbling brook in the garden.

vendor


insight “My favourite room is the kitchen, which is large and open

plan, as I love to spend time baking with my children. I also love

the lounge in the winter months, as this is where we often cosy up

in front of the wood burner and watch television,” says Sarah.


“The sense of community is fantastic, as the house

is located in a dingle, we only have a few neighbours and our

children all go to the same school which is very reassuring,”

says Sarah.


“The garden is a fantastic feature of the property, we have a decked eating area which is secluded and can become a real sun trap in

summer. We have fruit trees and mature walnut, beech and maple trees surrounding the garden which increases the privacy and the surrounding

wicket fencing on the upper lawn makes it very safe for children to play.”
