We have enjoyed developing the land surrounding the property to create a productive organic veg garden, orchard and new formal garden area. And the day-to-day costs of the house are significantly subsidised by the income from the solar panels. The location is quiet and private, and we have loved being part of the friendly local community in the nearby villages"
