Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property that included the annex. The hamlet of Oversley Green is very friendly and rural but is only a short walk to town. The black and white cottage, the lovely garden and the riverside frontage sold it to us.
What makes this property unique
The property has fishing rights.
Next to the river is the gazebo with a lovely sitting area with fire pit/ice bucket, depending on the weather,
A small sitting area outside Heron View to enjoy breakfast by the fish pond.
