Nestled on a private estate near the peaceful border between Herefordshire and Worcestershire, this home is a destination in itself. With a large dining room for sociable meals and plenty of secluded spaces, it’s ready-made for a group getaway. You’ve even got your own indoor swimming pool here, complete with a changing area. When the British weather is on your side, you can make the most of the grounds, which include a walled garden, an orchard, and ponds. And if you head further into the estate, you’ll discover two private lakes – perfect for fishing or wild swimming. Keen hikers will love the walking trails on the doorstep, and your host provides bikes for country cycles.
