      Ooooh i love the sunroom on the back too!

      From the front of the house, it doesnt look that big, but the view from the back of the house, looks like a big house indeed.

      Penny,his house isn't the cottage. They are in the same village but his is only 10 years old and the cottage is dated 1874,built by the Spencer Chuchill family from the Northwick Estate in Gloucestershire

        More pottering around the local villages and Hamlets this weekend..Firstly in my Village again.
        This is now considered the longest Cul-de -Sac in England,now that the Bypass cut off the upper High street,despite promises it would not do so.....there's power in them thar houses!!:mad:
        [​IMG]

        Then to this small place called Cutsdean and once the home of my paternal grandparents.
        They used to live here,the Old Post Office,
        [​IMG]

        and now lie here in the grounds of the Hamlets tiny but beautiful Church of St James's..
