We're blown away by how much room there is – while parents sip tea in the sunroom or snooze in the cosy bedrooms, kids can hide themselves away in the loft, listening to records and gaming on the Playstation. But when you're not playing pool in the game room, warming your toes in front of the wood-burning fire or rustling up a hearty supper on the Stanley cooker in the kitchen, chances are, you'll be making the most of the weather out in the garden. The 1.5 acres of land runs right along the river, where swans, herons and the occasional otter come to play. At one end, you'll find an apple orchard, the other a folly, and in between, there's more than enough space to kick a ball around, host barbecues and lounge in the sunshine.

Home truths

    Although this home could sleep ten, the maximum occupancy is seven adults and two children

    Bedrooms four and five are in the loft and are connected – you must walk through the twin room to access the double bedroom

    As this is a period home, the stairs are steep and narrow, especially leading up to the loft – it's not suitable for young children or those with limited mobility

    The river runs through the property, so please take extra care with small children

    We highly suggest having a car here – there's parking available on the driveway

    You'll need to supply your own coffee pods and wood for the fire

    There's a private entrance
