The sellers view of their home;  

“We have lived at Carlton Bank House for eleven years and can honestly say that we have loved being here.  The only reason that we are looking to sell our beautiful home is to downsize.  Having lovingly and sympathetically restored both internally and externally we truly believe our house would make a fabulous family home with plenty of room to grow.  On a sunny bright day, we have several areas in our extensive garden to relax, be it by the pond, or one of the other areas with seating.”

“The house was used as a convalescent home for the injured soldiers during the war and we are sure that they would have recovered speedily sitting in the grounds or in one of the large reception rooms, where the daylight floods through the large windows.”
