Downsizing is rarely just about bricks and mortar. For Fliss and John, it marked the start of an entirely new chapter.
After raising four children in a large Oxfordshire farmhouse, they reached a moment familiar to many families: the house felt too big, the kids had moved on, and it was time to make a change.
For the first time in their lives, they found themselves managing a lump sum after selling the family home.
