An accountant who sued her neighbours, claiming their new fence interfered with her back garden picnics has been ordered to rip out the central heating system and patio from her and her husband's £375,000 cottage after the complaints backfired.
Helen Faber and her partner Dominic Miles saw red in 2021 when returning to their idyllic country cottage in Oxfordshire after a period living in France to find a fence put in by next door neighbours, Richard and Katherine Reid, had "narrowed" a path leading to part of their back garden by 40cm.
