A former reservoir, this incredible holiday accommodation is a celebration home like none other; uniquely designed and absolutely beautiful, sleeping 16 in 6 bedrooms with a hot tub, games room and more.

Simply pull back the handle and step straight into the magic, where an incredible interior framed in sky-high glass wraps itself around a stop-you-in-your-tracks light-filled atrium. Here you’ll find a space filled with beauty both natural and manmade, where the sun’s rays can be soaked up from morning until well into the evening. There are nooks to steal away to if you like time on your own including a weight-training room / gym, and sprawling spaces to converge in for time together like an enormous high spec kitchen / diner, games room and barbecue area.

On the ground floor, three sets of French doors can be thrown open to make the entertaining space bigger, while at roof top level an established garden has lawns to laze on, paths to explore, and a sweep of decking with its own bar and wood-fired hot tub. Practically speaking every ‘t’ has been crossed and every ‘i’ dotted with a host of amenities and entertainment features provided to keep kids (and grown-ups) busy while lunch sizzles away on the fire.

And when the weather doesn’t play ball, the fun won’t need to stop as a table tennis and a pool table as well as a huge outdoor lounge suite with outdoor fireplace sit under cover overlooking the atrium. Back inside through the French doors, eight monitors with USB are mounted to the dining room wall and can be used to load your own images, so if you're gathering together to celebrate an occasion like a birthday or anniversary, this along with a state-of-the-art surround sound system will set the mood for a party.

The house caters beautifully to families with young children in tow. A range of baby and toddler-friendly items are provided that include two travel cots, two stair-gates, a high chair, two potties, two toilet training seats, two step-up toddler stools, and a selection of baby plates and cutlery
