Downsizing from a classic, Georgian farmhouse in Dorset to a converted cottage in the garden was an unexpected move for Josephine Browning. ‘After my husband Bill’s death it became obvious that the house and grounds were far too much for me to manage on my own, ’ says Josephine. ‘My children encouraged me to downsize but it needed to be something special to entice me to move.
