Description
We’re a young family of three living, with our two friendly dogs, Winston and Fred. Our home sits on 1.2 acres of land, just a 10-minute drive from the nearest town, so it’s the perfect mix of countryside calm and easy access to amenities.
After spending time living and travelling in a van, we moved here two years ago to create a place we could truly call home. We love good food, relaxed evenings, and the slower pace of rural life.
We both work remotely/abroad for which keeps us busy. Because of that (and our energetic one-year-old daughter keeping us on our toes!), we don’t always have the time to move forward with all the ideas we have for the land and house.
This would suit people who are independent, enjoy nature, and are happy to be around dogs and a young child.
