赫特福德郡 · 整套民居 · 5室5床3.5卫 · 可住8人 · Spacious house & garden to relax
We built our luxury eco home in 2019 and think that you will love the light and views of our large garden leading to a canal in a semi rural location. There are five large bedrooms - two en suite with one suitable for those with reduced mobility. You won't want to leave the garden with the 5m round pool, trampoline, zip wire, den, swings, garden games, lots of areas to relax in the sun or shade. There's plenty to do nearby & trains to take you to London in 30 mins are less than a mile away. This house was planned specifically for its two acre plot and we focused on light, space and views. It is a sustainably designed property so well insulated with a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system; roof lights; underfloor heating; solar panels; triple glazing. This is a very easy house to be in and, we hope, will help to make your holiday a relaxing one. You may enjoy making the most of the foodie kitchen with two Neff ovens (one with steam); two dishwashers; American-style Samsung fridge freezer; drinks fridge; boiling water tap; Smeg induction and gas hob; Nespresso machine; microwave. It is a sociable kitchen which is part of the open plan area and has seating around the island to keep the cooks company. If you would rather cook and eat outside there is a pergola with a 8 seater table next to a large wood burning Parrilla BBQ with potable water nearby. The dining table comfortably seats eight people and, when the 5m bi-fold doors are open, you will feel you are outside. This leads out to the patio with another table and chairs as well as a brazier which is perfect for making s'mores. The living area has a glorious window seat as well as a large sofa and a couple of armchairs. This area can be turned into a cinema once the 76in projector screen comes down and the popcorn is made. There is another sitting room that can be used when wanting some quiet time. A large utility room has two washing machines; a laundry chute; and an extra shower. The bedrooms are all generously proportioned with wonderful views. There is an en suite bedroom with king size bed downstairs that is suitable for those with limited mobility. The upstairs en suite has a super king bed, a large balcony as well as a freestanding bath and walk in shower which can also be used as a steam room. There are three more comfortable bedrooms upstairs. One has a king size bed and the other two are doubles with amazing views onto the garden and countryside beyond. A spacious family bathroom has two basins and a relaxing bath with an overhead shower. There is also a playroom with table football, a 42inch wall mounted television and many games. This room could also be used as a work area with a large desk and printer. All bedrooms and living areas have wireless Sonos speakers. You may decide not to leave the garden throughout your stay as you enjoy the hammocks; pool with sundeck; patio; lit pergola with dining area; BBQ; 36m zip wire (suitable for an adult – so no excuses!); swings under the ancient oak; climbing wall up into an apple tree that leads to a slide ; seating area by the canal and river. There are plenty of picnic blankets, pool towels, rugs, blankets and cushions to use outside. There are many garden games - cricket, rounders, tennis, football, table tennis, large trampoline that you are welcome to use. Also plenty of lounging areas in the sun as well as under trees to relax in the shade. All the essentials will be provided including a welcome hamper to start your holiday in a relaxed way.
Ours is a friendly neighbourhood. There are shops and a great coffee shop within walking distance. The lovely market town of Berkhamsted is a 10 min drive or 45 min walk along the Grand Union Canal towpath. Along the way are a number of pubs including the 16th Century Three Horseshoes Pub. Berkhamsted has a range of restaurants and shops as well as a 1938 Art Deco cinema and even a ruined castle as a potential picnic spot. If you take the towpath in the other direction you will reach the chilled Fishery Wharf Cafe which is open every day.
