Owner's perspective - "For two years, we poured our hearts into restoring this cottage, carefully breathing life back into its walls and garden. Every brick, every brushstroke, was an act of love, turning a once-neglected space into a warm and welcoming home. The transformation has been remarkable, filling us with a deep sense of accomplishment and pride.
But now, with our work complete, it's time to turn the page. The cottage, now thriving with the charm and character we envisioned, is ready for its next chapter, and so are we. As we prepare to move on, we leave behind not just a beautifully restored home, but also a part of ourselves, woven into the very fabric of this place. It's bittersweet, but we know this cottage will continue to stand, a testament to our journey, and a home ready to welcome its next residents."
