The lady wants to downsize, we bought this place on the edge of The New Forest, near the market town of Ringwood, twenty-five years ago. It belonged to a former soccer star, who spent money on it like it was going out of fashion. Originally it was a single storey, two bedroomed bungalow. In this area two story houses are not allowed, something about the sensitivity of the forest, not a clue what that means.
What the soccer player had done was to remove the roof, double the floor size square footage then the new roof was a steeped pitch, like a church, that made room for a second floor but as the lowest part of the roof line is the same as it was, the property is technically a bungalow.
People on here talk about off loading all of life's accumulations, it's going to take some doing, we have filled this place, a home with twelve rooms, three of them are bathrooms, two of the bedrooms have an en suite bathroom, there's also the master bathroom. I told you that the soccer player just spent loads of money on the place. I'm hoping that we can put off downsizing for a while, I do love this place.
