We are a retired couple having worked at executive levels in the technology market. Having spent many years in California we have called England our home for the past 30 years. We are enjoying our many travels exploring new cultures.
Why they chose this property
We have made significant extensions to our property providing an open plan environment that looks onto a beautiful garden. You are in the beautiful Berkshire country providing quiet and solitude while at the same time you can be in central London in 30 minutes. The best of both worlds!
