The owners of this impressive house weren't looking to move from their previous home but they came across this former vicarage – and the lambs in its grounds – and all that changed instantly.
'Once outside all these little lambs ran up to us greet us,’ says Anne Spratling, who lives in the rustic-style home with her husband, John Ayris; they are co-founders of gift and homeware company East of India. ‘They were orphans who had all been hand-reared. On this reception, we didn’t care what the house looked like. The lambs had captured our hearts already.’
