Why the Current Owners Love Living Here

Aubourn is more than just a location—it’s a lifestyle. With its strong sense of community, riverside and countryside walks, and the ever-popular Royal Oak pub just a short stroll away, it’s easy to see why the owners fell in love with both the village and the home.

They were so inspired by the peaceful setting and generous plot (approx. 0.3 acre sts), they extended the property to create a stunning open-plan living space, now the true heart of the home. It’s where they gather, cook, relax, and entertain—complete with a bespoke dining nook and a cosy wood-burning stove for those chilly evenings.
