What the owners say:

"When we first moved into the Mulberry Tree in 1999, we were looking for a home having larger than average family rooms to accommodate our growing family. The house is situated in a semi rural location but allows commuting to London and be accessible to good schools and all other amenities.  

Later when the children had their own cars the house came into its own providing off road parking for four cars plus parking for a large caravan.

Even with this use we were still able to add a 2 bedroomed annex and a log cabin office.

We are now past all this excitement and require something much smaller for the two of us and a Mum who now needs to be in the same house with us. 

We have had lots of great times and good memories and will be very sad to leave."
