“We moved to Wales from the south when we got married 12 years ago – it was the best move of our lives! Highclere was an immediate attraction

because of the huge potential it had, and its

unique qualities as a rural retreat set within

walking distance of the town. It was a well

built bungalow set within a ¾ acre plot and

we loved the idea of raising a family there.”

“After five years, we needed more space

than the bungalow provided as we now

had three children. We explored the

opportunities to extend and settled on

converting the bungalow to a house, adding

an upstairs to most of the bungalow. The

project was challenging but very exciting,

and the builders did an excellent job. It

transformed our home from a three bedroom

bungalow to a five bedroom house with four

reception rooms.”insightHighclere.indd 3 28/05/2015 10:38

vendor“Throughout the time we’ve been here, we’ve also worked hard to make the best of the

unique features of the garden, landscaping all areas,

building a jetty by the river, restoring the original

potting shed with its cast iron fireplace into a unique

log cabin, and constructing a viewpoint decking area

on the top lawns.”

insight

“We’re moving to make provision for further outdoor pursuits that our children are interested in, but we’ll really

miss the many features that Highclere offers: the

excellent road frontage with exceptional parking

space, the convenient access to the town, the

privacy and space that the garden offers for

family activity, and the cosy winter evenings by

the fire with the convenient log store (accessible

from inside and outside). Yes, we’ll miss it

for sure.”
