About the host
Hosted by Caroline Chaplin
We moved our family to this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in summer 2015 after 15 years living in London. We have settled very quickly into village life.
Why they chose this property
Our idyllic location allows daily commuting to London in just over 1 hour but a restful time at home, enjoying generally very good weather (different to my native Scotland!) and the stunning rural setting of a wooded valley.
What makes this property unique
Our home, Avenings Farm and White Rose Cottage next door are set in more than 9 acres of land, allowing us the space to grow our own fruit and vegetables and a local farmer to keep his sheep in our field. We also have a rowing boat which can be used on our small lake and an enclosed (to keep the sheep out!) 5-a-side football pitch with goals.
