OWNERS INSIGHT

"What first attracted us to Stone Court 7 years ago was the fabulous location, a stone s throw from the harbour restaurants and Hoopers, together with the garden and the peaceful ambience of this backwater. Previously a dormer bungalow occupied by an elderly widower who had gardened it for 22 years. We could see the potential and set about redeveloping into an Art deco style house with an exceptional flow and occupier friendly design, enlisting the help of Adam Frost with the garden design. Approaching the house up the leafy lanes you could be in deepest countryside. We have lots of native garden birds visit us and have other native species we have seen slow worms and toads! we have always tried to garden with nature in mind. The large useful Hartley Botanic Greenhouse was a little luxury we indulged in and has produced bountiful crops. The garden has lots of fruit bushes and trees and we are never short of apples."
