Retired Teacher Buys 750000 Pound Bungalow in Ashton Keynes

Carol Dougill is sixty. She is excited to move soon. Her new home is at King’s Water. It is a two-bedroom bungalow. The development is in Ashton Keynes. Carol calls it “paradise.” She likes the site’s plan.

She has wanted a home here. The homes are in clusters by lakes. There is a stunning meadow. The development feels heavenly to Carol. She is a retired head teacher. The atmosphere feels welcoming, she says. Driving in, she feels a real sense of arrival.

The landscaping limits the number of homes. This makes the area feel friendly. Small communities will form, Carol thinks. She is excited about being part of one. The gated community adds security for her. It gives her extra reassurance.

Carol usually lives in Cotswold-style homes. She was unsure about the show home itself. But, she was completely won over by the home. She says the finish is excellent. Her friends also felt very impressed.

Carol paid £750,000 for the new home there. She looks forward to a fresh start. She loves walking and cycling regularly. King’s Water offers great possibilities for Carol. She never considered a bungalow before.

The clever design won her over quickly. Two bedrooms suit her lifestyle well. She does not want extra maintenance. The living room has galleried windows. These look stunning, she thinks.

She can open her doors easily. She can take dog walks around the lake. It will be absolute bliss, she states. Carol loves dogs very much. She raises puppies for Guide Dogs.

This passion runs in her family too. Her mother raised fifteen puppies previously. This sparked a love for the cause. It feels rewarding, Carol says happily. She will start again after the move here.

She will also offer boarding for trainers. She takes puppies at eight weeks old. She guides them until fourteen months. Handing them back feels hard, she states. Yet, she knows they will change lives.
