Vendor's thoughts: "Rivendell has been a lovely family home for us for over 20 years. We brought up our children here, but now they have moved on, it is time we did too! Poulton is set in beautiful countryside & is a friendly, thriving village with an excellent pub, a shop & village hall with plenty of social activities. It is with some trepidation and after many changes of heart that we have finally taken the plunge to leave what has become a very special home to us."

In a nutshell: A superb Cotswold home, with beautiful period features, in a fabulous village!
