If you have children or are planning to, the schools around here are great. The local primary school has an excellent reputation, and there are some brilliant secondary schools with good and outstanding OFSTED ratings in the nearby towns. Plus, it's a safe area, so you won't have to worry as much about your kids playing outside. Not far from the home you have the village playing fields where you, the kids and the dog can stretch your legs until your heart is content. Directly opposite you can enjoy an ever changing and far reaching farmland view throughout the year. One of the best parts?
