Owners Comments:

“We moved to Rae Mhor in November 1991. This was our fourth move in five years and we were ready to put down some roots, I think we have done!! We pretty much knew as soon as we walked through the front door this was the one. The house has been an ideal home to bring up the children, lots of space to study, play, have friends round and meet their needs growing up. Plenty room for visitors with lots of space inside and outside for entertaining. Westerfield is close to Ipswich but still definitely in the country. There is a good sense of community in the village. It is impossible to take Hector (our dog) for a walk and not meet with and have a chat with people we know. We love going to the pub for a drink and a meal, there is always a warm welcome. The schools in the catchment area both primary and Northgate High/Sixth are excellent and our girls benefited greatly from both. They made lifelong friends there. The new Country Park is on our doorstep and will be great for children. It will be an amazing asset for the village and the new occupants of Rae Mhor.\"
