The Owner's Perspective...
"When our parents saw Glen Cottage on sale in 1999, they knew it would become their home. It did, and they spent the rest of their days there. We all loved visiting, as did their siblings and friends from near and far.
It was a home of musical evenings, cards by the fire, meals in the sunroom, and where the grandkids played football and even camped in the garden. It was also a place of rest and quiet"
