Actually let’s rewind to 2016.
We had been living in a busy Berkshire town in a victorian townhouse for 10 years and it was time for a change.
The house was our first move out of London where Nick and I had begun our careers and lives together. Maidenhead seemed a good choice for a young family reluctant to leave the convenience of city-living; reasonable house prices, semi-rural location, walkable to all amenities - a library, local shops, cafes and farmers markets, and crucially a station that can take you to London on the fast train in 20 minutes - boom.
