“Our formal rooms are so elegant and comfortabl­e – we embrace any excuse to use them,” says homeowner Belinda. These rooms contrast beautifull­y with the lighter, airier new spaces. “This is a house that’s so calm and inviting,” she says. “It’s a real haven.” The family loves their new locale, which has now been thoroughly explored on foot with cavoodle Archie in tow. “There seems to be more dogs than people and everyone goes out walking – day or night, rain or shine.”
