Hide AdCarole Kneen, who now owns the house with her siblings, says: “Our parents bought it in 1957. It had been an officers mess in the war and needed a lot work. Mum and dad did a full renovation.”
One of her strongest memories is her parents writing to the Queen to ask if they could have a pair of swans for the lake. The answer was “yes” and they were allowed to take a pair from the Thames.
The house was turned into retirement home for a short time before Carole and her sisters inherited and updated the property before turning it into a successful B&B.
“We are all getting older and have decided that it is time to sell but we will miss it. It’s fabulous and sits in an amazing setting,” says Carole.
