This post has been a long time coming. Back in the Spring of 2017 we put our townhouse on the market. We'd bought it off plan in 2013 in the village I'd grown up in, we had family near by and a great choice of schools and local amenities. It was our first real base when we moved back to England. We both adored our townhouse but over the following years we had outgrown it. The rooms were becoming cramped and the courtyard garden too small for our ever growing daughter.
