Vendor Comments -
"All our four children and some of our 11 grandchildren attended local schools to excellent effect. As the grandchildren grew, Compton Cottage became a true family centre with most anniversaries, birthday and feast day parties held here. Nobody missed the alternate-years’ Christmas Days with over 20 at lunch. The cottage has been the cradle of a strong family with joy in normal times and comfort in sad times. But now, as grandchildren marry and have their own offsprings, it has served its purpose well and will always hold our affection and valued memories.
On hearing we were selling, one grandson, an aspiring footballer, swears that when he makes his mark, he will buy Compton Cottage back whatever the then owner asks! A grand-daughter is buying copious lottery tickets to trump him.
In a few words:
More than just a house Compton Cottage is a warm living family home-from-home with comfort, space, security and privacy."
