HILLCREST FARM I was looking for somewhere where I could combine both the running of my business with a family home with land attached, says David, and this was the perfect location. The property hadn t been lived in for a couple of years and was in a derelict state when we found it and so began the hard graft of stripping it back to the bare walls and building a new home and offices to suit our future needs.

I like to spend time in the kitchen and the massive TV room which is just off it. It s got a 100-inch TV on the wall and it s great to get the guys round to watch the football matches.

The open fire makes the room feel really comfortable.

Seller Insight I was looking for somewhere where I could combine both the running of my business with a family home with land attached, says David, and this was the perfect location. The property hadn t been lived in for a couple of years and was in a derelict state when we found it and so began the hard graft of stripping it back to the bare walls and building a new home and offices to suit our future needs. The house has been completely renovated from top to bottom and I run my business from here which I separated from the main living area. The whole property is fitted out with high specification technology and there s underfloor heating throughout which makes the rooms nice and warm to walk around in. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen which is lovely and big. We like to cook and entertain in here and can easily fit in 100 guests at one time. Everything is fully integrated and we have an AGA cooker that we use for the big family meals but if you wanted to rustle something up quickly, there s a cooker with an electric hob in the pantry area which is just off the kitchen. There s room for a big table and chairs where you could easily seat 20 people and I love to watch tv in here lying on the couch and I ll often doze off til the early hours! The back garden is open plan with a level grassed area. It s fully enclosed and is completely secure. The gates at the rear of the garden lead out into a field where you can walk for miles and I m often out there with the dogs. We ve recently planted a number of trees and bushes, including conifers, which should be a good height and size in 3 or 4 years time. It s very private and totally secure here and I love that the office area is separate to the family living space. In fact, the office space is so relaxing that I often spend time in there to chill by myself! There s a carport with space for parking up to 25 cars which is really useful for business and when we re entertaining. The garden is designed for parties and we have hosted a friend s wedding reception with 600 guests! We had a big marquee, a live band and basically everything you d expect at a wedding, it really was a brilliant weekend! We ve lived here since 2014 and we worked really hard to get the house to where it is today. To be honest, I ll be disappointed to sell it! To find something like this will be very difficult but due to family and work circumstances, I m finding myself spending more time in London which involves a lot of travelling, so we need to make the move to be closer to London. *
