Standing on a historic estate, this Grade II-listed Georgian home is ideal for a large family gathering or friendly reunion. You'll have plenty to keep you occupied – the sprawling grounds include two acres of gardens, several terraces, access to a private beach, and a tennis court. Perfect for multiple families, the home is split between the main house and a wing with three bedrooms. That means you'll find several cosy living areas and places for dining and cooking here. Having said that, coming together as a group in the large dining room and enjoying a meal prepared by a private chef (available through your host) sounds very tempting.
