Seller InsightMillfield House is a large and very attractive family home that boasts a superb position within the delightful village of Selling. “I’d say we looked at over forty houses before we happened upon this one,” says Anthony, “but the minute we set foot inside we knew we’d found what

we were looking for. It was absolutely immaculate throughout, very spacious and the garden had huge potential – which really appealed to my wife, as she’s a very keen gardener – and the views of the surrounding countryside took our breath away. In short it ticked a lot of boxes.”

“The house itself needed absolutely nothing doing to it when we purchased it almost eleven years ago, but over the years we have made a number of changes here and there to really enhance it further. We put in a lovely new kitchen, added a conservatory, changed all the windows and extended above the large garage to create a beautiful master suite. It’s a really spacious and comfortable home, and there’s an easy flow from room to room so it’s a great house to entertain in, however it’s just a bit too big for my wife and I now and that’s the only reason we’ve decided to sell.”

“Just like the house, the garden is absolutely beautiful,” continues Anthony. “When we came here it was something of a blank canvass, but my wife has done a super job of transforming it into something really quite special. We have a large lawn that gently slopes away from the house, lots of beautiful beds of shrubs and flowers, and a border of mature hedging which creates a wonderful sense of privacy. It’s south facing, so bathed in sunshine during the summer months, and we have a number of places where we can sit out and take in our gorgeous surroundings.”

“I’m sure my wife would choose the snug, but my favourite part of the house is the large living room where I have my TV,” says Anthony. “It’s a huge space, but it has a very comfortable and cosy feel, and it opens via sliding doors into the conservatory, so I can enjoy a lovely view of the garden. Around four years ago we extended the first floor to create a really beautiful master suite,” says Anthony. “It’s a huge room with a very generous en-suite bathroom and we also added a large balcony so that we can take full advantage of the splendid views across the orchards that border the property.”

“The house is situated on a very quiet cul-de-sac, so apart from residents and the odd visitor, there’s virtually no passing traffic,” says Anthony. “The village is a friendly place and the pub is within walking distance. What more could you want?”

“The house has been a wonderful home,” says Anthony, “but I’d say that it’s the setting that I’ll miss most when we leave. The garden is stunning and an absolute haven for wildlife and the views of the surrounding orchards and countryside are breathtaking. We’ll definitely be sad to go.”*
