About us
Further information
Please note the property is unfortunately unsuitable for those with mobility issues due to the bathrooms being located on the first floor and steps between the kitchen, hallway and conservatory.
The lower level of the garden is enclosed with fencing to at least 3ft in height. The upper level is accessed via gated stone steps mostly laid to lawn. It is surrounded by dry stone walls of varying height which is low in some places and there are some significant changes to the ground level below, it is therefore recommended that children and pets are supervised at all times when accessing this level.

How we started
We fell in love with the area 10 years ago and have been visiting regularly ever since. It was on one of our own holidays we spotted a small flat for sale and started to dream of owning our own little escape. It took 4 different property viewing and 1 failed purchase when I saw Nordlys pop up on Facebook. I called and was told they may not be accepting any more viewings as they already had 17 and it hadn't even gone live on their website yet. I wasn't taking no for an answer and they agreed a slot on a day of back-back viewings. Luke was away, so I booked a caravan and packed up our 2 terriers and headed up to view. I loved it as soon as I pulled onto the drive and saw the back garden and forest. The inside needed a lot of work but had so much potential, I managed to get Luke to agree to letting me make an offer before he'd even seen it!
It went to closing date due to the interest and had 14 offers but thankfully ours was accepted. We then spent 18 months fully stripping it back and renovating to what it is today, although we still keep adding and changing things now!
