SELLERS INSIGHT
As a growing family, we were looking for a home that our children could feel safe to roam and grow in. When we found Farthingdown Coombe, we knew it was the right fit for us immediately. A beautiful location with a remote feel, yet part of a community, with local schools and shops. It is a special place hidden from the hustle and bustle, yet within easy reaching distance.
The space the property provides both inside and out has allowed many a gathering of friends and family and we have many wonderful memories here. The children have had space to explore and enjoy the gardens with their friends, giving them the feel of independence whilst we have the peace of mind that they remain safe.”
