Owner's perspective - "Tod (The Old Dairy) has been a great family home, and it has been a hard decision to leave after 14 memorable years.

Although it’s set in a peaceful & quiet rural location it’s only a short walk into Marston Montgomery where we have enjoyed being part of the active village community.

The house is like a Tardis – we have found it a practical, spacious & versatile home and it has been great for family gatherings both for summer outdoor parties and for extended family Christmases.

We regularly have had 12 staying in the house and have had up to 19 over the Christmas period.

We’ve particularly enjoyed the garden which is large but easy to maintain and we’ve even made cider with apples from the orchard.

There’s a wealth of wildlife especially birds everything from a heron to woodpeckers and robins and wrens that come right up to the windows!" Location - what3words: ///broadcast.continues.seating.
