Seller Insight It was love at first sight for us as we instantly fell for the quirky charm of West End Farm. It’s a beautiful period property and we knew that it would suit our requirements for our growing family,” says the vendor. “We’ve lived here for 13 years and have made a number of changes, including the conversion of the attached garage into what is now a beautiful living room. It is double aspect with French doors leading to the garden and the vaulted ceiling gives a feeling of space and light. It’s a perfect room for entertaining and our daughter celebrated her 21st birthday with a meal for 50 guests in here. We also added a utility room and ground floor WC which perfectly suited our needs as a family.” “There are lots of walks to enjoy in the local area, including the scenic route along the canal and at nearby Wendover Woods. There are 3 pubs and a convenience store within walking distance and it’s just a short drive to Wendover which gives us good access to London.” “The south facing garden is easy to maintain and is fully enclosed, ideal for children and dogs. We enjoy the sun throughout the day and the beautiful sycamore tree provides shade and respite from the summer heat. The large patio is the ideal spot to relax or entertain friends and family.” “The beauty of West End Farm is that it has lots of different rooms. We’ve had the ability to go off and do our own thing, including drum practice or watching sport on the television, yet there’s also plenty of space for us to all be together.” “It’s hard to choose just one favourite room as we use them all, but I do like to relax on the comfortable sofas and curl up with a book in what I think of as my ‘Reading Room’.” “We enjoy our privacy and it is very quiet, but the neighbours are not far away. The residents of West End Close are nearby we enjoy frequent (optional!) visits to the local pub on Friday evenings.” “The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. We’ve celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, as well as a 21st and 50th birthday party with a marquee in the garden. There’s plenty of room for guests to stay over too.” “I will miss the space, quirkiness and tremendous character of West End Farm. It possesses the typical qualities that Victorian properties tend to have as it’s well built but we have taken the decision to downsize.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
