SELLER INSIGHT

How long have you owned the property?

“We moved to Shady Oaks in August 1987.”

What attracted you to this specific house and location?

“We had 4 children aged between 7-12 and wanted a bit more space for the children to run around without disturbing the neighbours.”

What would you like to tell parents about the benedits of raising children here?

“We had been looking for a house in the country for a while. The estate agent suggested we come to see this house, he thought it would be ideal for us; it was a bit further from our previous house than we had planned but we loved it immediately.  The views were wonderful, we like wildlife; there were lots of birds and there was a lot of space!

Our children loved growing up here, their friends loved to come too.  There was plenty room for playing football and cricket as well as any number of made-up games.  They could camp in the garden and make noise without anyone complaining – drums can be an issue when you have close neighbours!”

What can you tell us about the history of the proeprty and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it?

“I am not sure when the house was built.  I think, but not certain, the land was originally part of the Kenyon Estate and the original house was built during this time.

It was a single-story building. The original part is what is now the hall and dining room.  Sometime later a second story was added.

Before we moved here, probably in the 1960s an extension was added to the west of the house with a small extension to the back and an adjoining garage.  The rooms forming part of this extension are now the living room, the small office/library, the main bedroom and en suite, the main office downstairs, the utility room, and also a small garage, which we have since demolished.

We added another extension to the east in the 1990s. The rooms in this extension are the kitchen, the family bathroom and a bedroom.  We moved the front door back to its original location. We also built a double garage.”

Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?

“I think the next ideal owner would have a young family, maybe with horses.”

What’s your favourite room and why?

“My favourite room is the kitchen, my family has now grown up and I have grandchildren, it is big enough for family meals, playing games, any number of craft activities. I love watching the birds from the kitchen window.”

Memorable/remarkable event?

“My younger daughter had her wedding at the house, we had a marquee in the garden.”

What do you love about the house the most now and what will you miss most?

“I still love the peace of the house, it has always had “a nice feel”.  I like being set back from the main road and that the house is in the middle of the land.  The views are wonderful.  I will really miss all of this.”
