What is it like living at Wool House? "Wetton is a lovely, friendly village. The sounds – the church bells, the lambs in spring, owls and bats in the church yard – are a constant reminder of the beautiful setting. It has been perfect for our children, playing with the neighbours in the church yard or sledging down the hills when the snow comes. Local farm milk in proper bottles delivered to our door, and a lamb for the freezer reared on Wetton Hill from our farmer neighbour are just some of the perks of living in this amazing place."
