There is also a games barn where the party can get competitive with a game of pool or table tennis.

The property has been beautifully laid out to create an experience that won't be forgotten in a hurry. With large open spaces that are light and inviting there is plenty to explore within. Leading off from the entrance hallway you can find the contemporary kitchen/diner. With its large wooden dining table there is more than enough room for everyone to gather for a celebratory meal.

Patio doors lead outside from the hallway where you can soak in the hot tub or share that cooked meal alfresco on the outside table. On those warm summer evenings, the BBQ should be used for the complete outdoor eating experience. The curved feature staircase guides you upstairs to the first floor where you'll find four of the bedrooms and a quiet seating space where you can take in the views or simply relax with your morning coffee.
