Property code: 78646

This super home effortlessly combines scale with cosiness; elegance with practicality; homeliness with luxury and relaxation with fun giving you the chance to make wonderful memories.

Set on a small country estate on a working farm, this fantastic property is an opportunity to have a BIG getaway in style. The owner has spared no expense in making this holiday let comfortable and welcoming and it has a touch of chic in every room. With five bedrooms, a games room, indoor gym and private hot tub, there’s something for every one of the ten guests this house can sleep. When you can bear to tear yourself away, the village of Madley is just 1 mile’s walk and has a traditional inn, perfect for catching up with friends over a drink, and a shop for all your essentials.

As you come up the sweeping gravelled driveway, you’ll see the stunning landscaped grounds framed by the Black Mountains in the distance. As you stroll through the stunning galleried reception hall with its own bar you’re greeted by decadent blues and sumptuous furnishings in the drawing room where you can unwind after a long day of exploration with the wood burner crackling in the background. If you’re feeling competitive, head into the games room to challenge guests at pool or board games, or simply snuggle up on the sofas with your favourite film on the TV. The kitchen is a superb social space with sleek greys and shiny appliances making it a pleasure to cook in; grab snacks from the central table or sit together for a meal at the dining table looking out across the fields through huge patio doors. Fitness fanatics have no need to forego their routine thanks to the gym that adjoins the carport; lift some weights or go for a blast on the bike before breakfast. If a relaxing soak is more your thing, bubble away in the hot tub in the garden where you can enjoy phenomenal views and even a variety of birdsong. At bedtime, head up to the luxurious bedrooms where tranquil decor lulls you to sleep; most rooms have spectacular views and the super-king-size room has a beautiful en-suite with a freestanding bath to delve into to soak away any aches and pains from the day.
