For sun, fun and relaxation, choose this magnificent family home in the Hamptons. The renovated farmhouse is fully kitted out with feel-good activities and amenities, from the vast swimming pool in the manicured garden to the children's games room. If that wasn't enough, it's also just ten minutes from the sandy Flying Point Beach. The plush pad has been tastefully decorated with an emphasis on joyful hues. In the homely living area, your host's book collection has been made into a design feature, stacked on a herringbone shelf in a way that injects interest into the room. Bold modern art hangs on the walls, and statement furniture simultaneously achieves style and practicality. That's all our boxes ticked. In the elegant chef's kitchen, culinary connoisseurs can fry, steam and bake to their heart's content. Serve up post-beach feasts on the spacious deck, or keep it simple and grill up some fresh farmer's market produce on the barbecue. End the day with a soothing bubble bath in the huge free-standing tub, then take yourself off to one of the luxurious bedrooms for a peaceful sleep.
