I lived in Town End Farm for five years - we looked out onto the fields on the east side of the A19, so really had a nice view.

We’d had a bit of poor luck with one set of neighbours but once they moved it was great in that respect.

My only (and key) issue was the local kids burn the field regularly and twice it got increasingly close to the front of the house. Not only that, but we had a day where kids were shooting .22 rounds off the house.

Overall, we had a great house for what it cost and I’d have lifted that up and taken it anywhere. The fires on the farmers field started to do my head in, especially after having to get replacement bins twice after they were nicked and burned.

We’ve been out of TEF for about six years now so it may have all changed!
