Owners' Comments We moved into 30 Hollow Street in 1985 and have lovingly upgraded the property over the years to create a happy family home.

It has been a wonderful place to raise children, with plenty of space to play and explore, while the local school, countryside, cycling and horse riding have all been part of family life.

The house has an interesting history, having originally been two cottages converted into one home.

Previous owners used it as a smallholding, raising animals, making their own butter and preserving fruit and vegetables.

Although the village has grown, Hollow Street remains peaceful and surrounded by nature.

The garden attracts an abundance of birds, with foxes and deer regularly seen nearby, and there are plenty of opportunities for dog walking and enjoying the countryside.

We have particularly valued Great Somerford’s strong community, with events such as the Church Fair and Somerford Show, alongside the village pub and shop.

After more than 40 years, this has been a much-loved family home, and we hope its next owners will enjoy it as much as we have.
