Not to mention, the envious advantage of both privacy within 1.5 acres of land and excellent access to the coast, national parks and a hotchpotch of quaint villages and lively towns. Interested? We thought so. A capacious family home that is absolutely perfect for celebrating special occasions or once-in-a-lifetime reunions, there is not one soul who won't find something to fall in love with here.

Emerge each morning from cloud-soft duvets and treat yourself to a pre-breakfast soak in the hot tub. Why not? Once you've towelled off, the spacious, AGA-warmed kitchen has everything you could need, from the coffee maker to the large range cooker, so that every single one of your party can be catered for.

Relay plates, platters and glasses to the huge dining room, where there is space for everyone to sit, and serve up mountains of pastries, fruit and toast. On less clement days, while grandad stokes the lounge's fire and grandma reads in the library, take to the games room with the children and go head to head with a game of pool as music plays out from the Bluetooth surround system.

On sunny days, live out halcyon dreams in the extensive gardens and spread out blankets for picnics under cloudless skies before firing up the BBQ, mint-topped mojito in hand, for flame-grilled feasts. Boasting quiet corners for loved-up duos to escape to and outdoor play equipment for kids, everyone will be kept entertained for hours.

Later, gather together for an epic film night in the cinema room, before retiring to your respective bedrooms. With ten bedrooms and eight bathrooms, a relaxing soak in one of the deep baths will be the perfect way to wind down before your head hits the pillow.
