About Buttermere House

The home was specifically chosen for children who can live in a smaller calming community where they can take time away from the pressures of living in a busy community. The property has a fence that is in keeping with the local surroundings erected around the perimeter of the property. The drive runs along the side of the home offering safe and secure parking for the home’s car, the gates may be locked and secure to safeguard the children.
