Hellebore, Hebe and the silver leaves of a large olive tree dance in the breeze in the front garden of Linda and Rogers home which nests peacefully below the South Downs. Pale pink roses have wound their way around the old porch and the timber-clad walls have weathered into a soft shade of grey, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Sussex Downs. "Although the location was stunning, the property needed lots of work and really did not tick all our boxes, ' Linda explains. 'We put in our bid thinking, we can see the potential but it we don't get this we are not that bothered. ’ When to their surprise their bid was accepted and the cottage became theirs, they began to get excited about what changes might work for them.
