Sit back, relax and enjoy the views. Don't worry about the kids - they'll be fine in this large fully fenced property, jumping on the safe trampoline, playing in the sandpit or kicking a ball around in the front yard. With 7 bedrooms - 5 double beds and 6 singles (mainly in bunks) + 2 portacots, this unique house is perfect for large groups, or multiple families. The house is set up as 2 stand-alone houses which are joined at each end - one with sound barrier double doors between the two lounges. Open them up to give flow through to one large room, or close them off to keep the noise down or gain a bit of privacy. Two kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, lounges, wet area shower etc means you can have a bit of space to yourself, while still enjoying the company of your mates and their kids. This property is set up to make holidays easy. Especially with lots of kids. One of the lounges is set up with full sound-resistant insulation to virtually sound-proof off the area. The adults can stay up late watching the cricket or rugby, and the kids can be up at the crack of dawn - without either disturbing the quiet sleeping areas throughout the rest of the house. There is plenty of room if the weather is not good. Unlimited-use, ultra-high-speed fibre internet (up to 900Mbps down & 450Mbps up) along with wifi to most areas in the house means you or the kids can go crazy on netflix, spark sport, youtube or minecraft or whatever necessary if it happens to rain. Freeview or BYO sky box - we've got a dish installed ready to go so you can watch the rugby or cricket on the 65" 4k TV.
