‘I promise you, the views from this house are life- enhancing,’ says owner Andrew Lummis, who has ‘spent a fortune’ on a considerable refurbishment project from redoing the roof to gutting the coach house and putting in a new tennis court. ‘It’s very secluded and private and yet close to the village-I’m going to miss it.’
