Luxury Farmhouse with Hot Tub, pool (seasonal), tennis, bar and kids play area.

Steeped in history and nature, welcome to the romantic setting of Doghouse Estate & Vineyard. Nestled in the garden of England, spread over fifteen acres of ancient bluebell woods, pastures, vineyard, shared outdoor pool (April-Sept), large private hot tub, shared tennis court and gym. Cosy up next to a wood burning fireplace with a glass of local wine, shoot pool in the bar, or catch the big match on Sky in our cinema room. Kids can climb the treehouse or play in our adventure toddler area.

5 bedroom 4.5 bathroom luxury Grade II listed farmhouse restored sympathetically with a mixture of antique and eclectic influences.

Other than the bedrooms, there is a large living room furnished with a grand piano and wood burning stove. The dining room also has a wood burning stove.

Separately, there is a cinema room with an 85" screen and all the usual channels inc. Sky Sports and Netflix/Prime.

Immediately outside there is a large (seats 5 adults) hot tub and the dining room permits between 16-20 diners at the same time.

The kitchen is well equipped with 3 Miele ovens and a large stone island to work from.

Other features of the estate include fire pits, a children's outdoor play area and tree house, an outdoor pool (April-Sept), Pool House with bar (unstacked!), pool table and wood burning stove. There is an all weather tennis court and also an indoor gym in an outhouse.

What A Wonderful Weekend!

All 13 friends and family could not stop singing their praises about this property. The house was immaculate and had everything we might need. The outdoor facilities were perfect and there something to keep everyone entertained. Communication with the host was great, making the check-in and check-out process very easy. We could not recommend this property enough.
