Company info

Back in my corporate days I worked in I.T. and was Systems Development Manager for Securicor. In my 20’s, I spent 6 months in the States; 2 months in a summer camp in New York State, then 4 months travelling to the West Coast and back in a van with an American and Dutch friend, visiting New York, Niagara Falls, Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks, San Francisco, Hollywood, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Washington DC. A couple of years later I spent six months in Italy; 3 months each at the Universities of Siena and Perugia learning Italian language and culture and mastering the art of eating pasta and pizza and drinking wine. A keen cook and wine lover, I also owned a restaurant in Winslow for five years until, completely exhausted, it was sold in 2006. I have always been interested in photography and after the sale of the restaurant, spent a lot of time attending courses with some of the best photographers in the UK and now do portrait & wedding photography on a semi-professional basis I have dabbled in property development and have a share in a house near Bodrum in Turkey, where I spend time each year. I am devoted to my daughter who lives in London

Property info

The building was originally a small one-up one-down workers cottage built around 1740. The adjacent barn was used as stables by our neighbours' children up to 25 years ago. We have retained as much of the old timbers as possible and tried to keep it informal and cosy

Neighborhood info

Winslow is a lovely friendly town - a great place to live. There are plenty are interesting National Trust properties around plus Bletchley Park (think Imitation Game) is just 15 minutes away. Good access to Oxford and Milton Keynes
