Beschreibung
Hello, I’m Jen, mother of 3 young children (aged 2, 4 and 6) and married to Doug. I love making art with the kids, being outdoors in our big garden growing fruit and vegetables or traveling down to the coast for a day on the beach. We have a big property in the village of Balcombe. We’re walking distance to a train station which is on the main line between London (40 mins) and Brighton (20 mins). We’re only 15 minutes drive to Gatwick too. Our village is small but has loads going on, there’s a shop, pub, club, park and loads of amazing countryside walks. There’s an excellent village vibe with many groups and societies meeting up to enjoy hobbies.
We’re offering accommodation in our separate annex building. It’s a studio bedroom with a kitchenette, and an en-suite bathroom. It has a private terrace. In exchange for this we’re looking for a person or couple who want to join our family and engage with children through play and activities at home and in our big garden.
