Owners Insight    GLYNDALE was completed by the previous owner, who owned his own building company, in 1979. They lived here until 1999 when we bought it. It was time for them to downsize. We have been very happy in Glyndale and saw this as our forever home until Covid showed us we were too far away family so we moved.
We have loved watching the deer: stags, does with their young and the Muntjacs meandering across the fields and waking up in the morning to them munching on the front lawn. We have been feeding the badgers with leftover dog food for a good two years now and watching them trotting down the track to the feeding place late evening makes the TV redundant. They let the fox share but only when they have eaten the largest bits. Both bring their youngsters and it is a delight to watch.

Glyndale is in the countryside but not remote. We feel we are part of the community and have good neighbours who are very helpful and watch out for each other when parcels are left. The large iron gate makes us feel very safe and of course Glyndale has a good security system for when we are sleeping or out.
We have had many marquees in the garden and parties in the house through our life stages. The Egyptian papyrus in the dining room were purchased on honeymoon. The airy, spacious rooms always impress new visitors.

We hope the next custodians of Glyndale will be as happy as we have been in such a private and individual home. There will never be another Glyndale.
