Designed with sustainability at its core, the house blends cutting-edge architecture with warm, inviting interiors and exceptional leisure facilities. Expansive living spaces encourage togetherness, while private corners offer peace and calm. Surrounded by thoughtfully landscaped gardens and open countryside, it&rsquo;s a destination in itself &#8211; ideal for milestone celebrations, restorative retreats or simply spending meaningful time together.<\/p>\n<h3>The space<\/h3>\n<p>Every detail of the house has been carefully considered to encourage socialising and relaxation. The main living space is dramatic yet welcoming, with soaring ceilings, generous seating and walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen is the heart of the home; sleek, spacious and fully equipped. From casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners, the adjoining dining area offers the perfect backdrop for long meals and memorable conversations. Meanwhile the living room invites you to relax on the generous sofas in front of the television or bio-ethanol fire after a day of exploring.<\/p>\n<p>The six bedrooms are calm, restorative sanctuaries, each individually styled with natural textures, soothing tones and luxurious beds. The first-floor master bedroom features a Caesar bed and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Also on this floor, bedroom two offers a super-king bed that can be arranged as twins, with its own en-suite shower room. On the ground floor, bedroom three includes a super king (or twin beds on request) alongside a single bed on a characterful mezzanine, plus an en-suite shower room.

The sixth bedroom has a king-size bed (or twin beds on request) and shares a bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, the experience reaches another level. The natural swimming pond invites wild, refreshing dips, while the infra-red sauna and hot tub offer year-round indulgence. An outdoor kitchen and dining area make alfresco entertaining effortless and joyful, and a dedicated games room ensures there&rsquo;s fun for every generation.<\/p>\n<h3>Bedroom configurations<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ground Floor <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bedroom 3: Super-king-size bed, one single bed and en-suite shower room (The super-king-size bed can be made up as two singles, please contact us at the time of booking to make this request).<br \/>\nBedroom 4: King-size bed with en-suite shower room<br \/>\nBedroom 5: Super-king-size bed, two single beds and en-suite shower room (The super-king-size bed can be made up as two singles, please contact us at the time of booking to make this request).<br \/>\nBedroom 6: King-size bed with access to family bathroom (can be made up as a twin room, please contact us at the time of booking to make this request).<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Floor <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bedroom 1: Caesar bed with en-suite bathroom<br \/>\nBedroom 2: Super-king-size bed with en-suite shower room (can be made up as a twin room, please contact us at the time of booking to make this request).<\/p>\n<h3>Guest access<\/h3>\n<p>The owner will greet you on arrival and show you the house and its amenities.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainability<\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to offset the carbon emissions from your trip, get in touch and we can arrange this for a small fee.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep in mind<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Check-in: <\/strong>from 16:00<br \/>\n<strong>Check-out: <\/strong>by 10:00<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deposit: <\/strong>Bookings are subject to a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the booking value plus applicable booking fees with the balance payable 70 days before the date of travel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accidental Damage Deposit: <\/strong>To maintain the highest standards in our properties, guests will need to pay a refundable Accidental Damage Deposit of &pound;1,000 prior to their stay.
