It's beautiful, I can see why you chose it. It reminds me of my last home, which I sadly had to sell. I can't wait to see more ❤️

How wonderful! It looks private, but open at the same time. The outside shines in at every turn, I can imagine there are some glorious sun spots indoors, and dancing shadows. It already looks a happy and welcoming home - just imagine how that will magnify when you and Mr C have settled yourselves in - all that your beautiful personalities bring. Extremely happy for you, and excited to see you in your new home….for starters, just think what you’ll do with those front steps and bathroom….roll on Halloween! Every happiness there to you both.

Well, blow me down with a feather! What a stunning house, JP! The light, the beams, the weatherboarding, the front steps and bath to dress. Your name is all over it! It kind of reminds me of a French gite, the wrap-around garden is a gift. So private. How beautiful. It's going to be amazing!

Time, though, to pop some fizz and laze a while.

It looks GLORIOUS. And so welcoming. I am completely with you on a house having the right feeling. I am sure you will make it even more gorgeous. Xx

It’s something that our last house never had for us. It was like I made it pretty for someone else and the house was anxiously waiting for their arrival.
