Vendors comments: We have loved living here. Sitting in the morning with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise and glass of wine and watching the sunsets and amazing views has been a particular pleasure. Even on dull days the views through the windows are uplifting. Our daughters describe it as their holiday retreat. But the time has come to downsize and let someone else take on this lovely home.
