Hadn't been trying to scare us. He'd been trying to kill us': how stalker neighbours turned our dream home into a nightmare

A long-form account describes how a property search in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, ended with the dream of Fox Hill turning into a nightmare after troubling neighbor behavior escalated. The narrative follows a couple who moved into Fox Hill in January 2018 after buying land next door to a dilapidated Welsh farmhouse, viewing the site as a chance to restore a “secret” landscape. Their renovation began with drainage work, as the ground around the house was persistently saturated, followed by roof repairs and rebuilding outbuildings. During this time, they also bought a 1974 red Leyland Atlantean double-decker bus, adding to their transformation efforts. The larger story frame centers on how initially “odd yet harmless” neighbors later became part of a campaign of terror, contrasting the early sense of discovery and renewal.
