Owner's perspective - "The Shop Cottage has been our lovely family home for over 25 years. It looked very different when we first saw it, but we knew when we got out of the car that first day and all we could hear was bird song, that it was exactly what we were looking for.
Built in the 1700s, it’s been a pleasure to live here through the seasons – in summer it’s cool and in winter, sitting in front of the fire, the cottage is a warm and cosy. We (and our cats and hens) have loved the gardens – the rear garden backs onto open fields and is so peaceful, especially on a summer’s evening. The front garden has a perfect sunny corner, to enjoy the sun whatever time of year. The winter sunsets are beautiful.
Stanton is a friendly village, with lots of events and get-togethers at the hall and whoever buys Shop Cottage will be inheriting lovely neighbours, who we will miss very much. Our next door neighbour has access through the back of the garden, but rarely uses it and is very discreet when he does.
There are so many local walks from the front door – in the spring the bluebells in Dydon Wood are stunning and Thorswood Nature Reserve with its beautiful views, is perfect for a Sunday afternoon walk. But now it’s time for us to move on and we hope the cottage’s new owners will enjoy living here, as much as we have."
