Inside the house

Boldrewood Road is one of our newest homes, and it shows: guests describe it as immaculate, new and spotless. Downstairs, the living room is the place to regroup at the end of the day, with plenty of seating and a TV, and there's a dining table where everyone can eat together. It's a calm, roomy house that suits a family gathering or a group of colleagues equally well.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Bedroom 1: a king-size bed.

Bedroom 2: a king-size bed.

Bedroom 3: two single beds.

Bedroom 4: two single beds.

With two twin rooms, it's easy to give children, friends or colleagues a bed each without anyone sharing. Two and a half bathrooms keep mornings moving: a walk-in shower, a shower over a bath, and a separate freestanding bath for a long soak. Every bed is made up with fresh linen before you arrive, and we leave soft towels and starter toiletries for everyone.

The kitchen

Cooking for eight is straightforward here. The kitchen has an oven, microwave, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, coffee machine and an air fryer, with pans, baking trays, crockery, cutlery and wine glasses. There's a washing machine and an iron too, so a week-long stay or a work contract is just as easy as a weekend.

The garden

Out the back, the private garden is one of the things guests remember, with outdoor seating for a morning coffee or a drink at the end of the day. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome; just bring their bed and bowls.

The driveway in front of the house fits two or three cars, depending on their size; please keep clear of the neighbours' driveways.
