It has always been a wonderful place to live with lovely neighbours.
The lane is a peaceful oasis within the village. It was once used by horse and carts to access the brickworks on Tolpuddle common many years ago creating its character and is now a private cul de sac.
Because of its location our garden attracts lots of birds, hedgehogs and squirrels. We even see deer from our bedroom windows on the adjacent woods. Truly a beautiful place to live."
