Time To Chillax

We explore some of the county looking for the prefect luxury haven perfect for pampering.

The Drive - Cobham

Sitting back from the environs of a coveted private road on the edges of Cobham village, the timber framing and large canopied entrance of a double fronted facade immediately hint at the lifestyle on offer. Originally built in 2008 by Chartridge Developments, this distinguished four storey Surrey residence unfolds from the grandeur of a wonderful central reception hall across a prodigious 10,610 sq ft.

GUIDE PRICE £5,000,000

Sleek clean lines peppered by the warmth of solid oak detailing exude a graceful sense of luxury with versatile living spaces interacting seamlessly with the tranquillity and seclusion of south-facing gardens.

Filled with light from an expanse of glazing and French doors, on the ground floor a duo of reception rooms and a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room are designed to give you every excuse to step out onto elegantly landscaped terracing. Interconnecting and spacious, together these three spaces combine to proffer an exceptionally fluid design.

The impressive drawing room generates a supremely calm and restful air with pared-back aesthetics that are echoed in an adjoining dining room that is perfectly suited for everyday life or evenings spent catching up with friends. The garden vistas and connection with the terracing continues in the exquisitely appointed kitchen/breakfast room where light from wrap-around windows and skylights subtly reflects off a wealth of handleless cabinetry topped with marble. The functional yet hugely stylish composition of the room is delineated by a considerable central island with a matching waterfall countertop and bar stool seating that’s equally ideal for a morning coffee or catching up on the day’s events over a glass of wine.

When it comes to relaxation or spending time with family and friends, an outstanding lower ground floor further enhances the quality of life this Surrey abode has to offer.

A considered range of integrated appliances offers every convenience for day to day life and entertaining while a separate utility room keeps laundry appliances discreetly hidden from view and opens onto a side terrace with fitted outside hot and cold taps. With the flexibility to cater to your own lifestyle needs, an additional double aspect study provides a peaceful haven when the need arises to work from home.

An enviable swimming pool complex with a sauna, Jacuzzi, shower, massage and changing rooms is beautifully finished with a wall of bifold doors that make it effortlessly easy to step outside and unwind in the summer sun. A double aspect cinema room and separate gym each have French doors that entice you out onto the secluded patio, and whilst the gym has a multitude of scope to become a treatment room or yoga studio, the cinema leads into a bar to give you a fabulous film night experience. A range of store rooms, cloakrooms, a bathroom, plant and utility rooms complete this masterful level.

The exemplary interior design themes are complemented on each of the upper two storeys where six tremendous double bedrooms match the superior levels of presentation and sense of space that you’ve come to expect by now. Refined yet utterly alluring, an impeccable principal bedroom takes you out onto a south-facing balcony. Conjuring a seductive feel with its accent wall and twin dressing rooms it has the added luxury of a superbly large en-suite with a sumptuous bathtub, walk-in shower and duo of countertop basins.

Each of the additional three bedrooms on the first floor have exceptional en-suites of their own, while upstairs two notably sized bedrooms share a gorgeous family bathroom and provide the option of having a games room if needed.

Plush grey carpeting runs cohesively underfoot in each of the bedrooms and the addition of a laundry room just makes life that little bit easier.

Eaton hay enjoys just over a 1/3 of an acre of fastidiously landscaped grounds offering fantastic levels of privacy and seclusion. The rear garden offers elevated distant views a stunning terrace with steps down to the beautifully kept lawn flanked with boarder planting. Framed by the evergreen foliage of statuesque trees that lend a heavenly backdrop and a cherished measure of privacy, the south-facing gardens engender an easy flowing extension of the house at every opportunity. Beyond the lawn sits spacious decked seating area with strategically illuminated feature lighting and contemporary feature waterfall which creates an incredible effect at night and allows outside enjoyment late into the evening. Capacious terracing and an equally broad landscaped patio supply multiple areas to enjoy al fresco entertaining or simply recline in the sunshine without being overlooked. Stretching out before you, the manicured stripes of an established lawn are bordered by the curves of a pebbled path and beds full of mature shrubs that give colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Philpot Lane - Chobham

Exceptional detached period home available for the first time in over 30 years. Built in 1928 within the Coxhill Green Estate, Greenacre sits nestled in a heavenly plot of circa 0.75 acres.

GUIDE PRICE £2,250,000 - Similar Properties Required

Beautifully planted gardens with a log cabin lend colour throughout the seasons, while inside a prodigious layout of 4 467 sq ft has ample capacity to create a self-contained ground floor bedroom suite. Impeccably presented with a refined sense of style, a wealth of reception rooms open onto the terracing at every opportunity, while integral garaging and a sweeping gravel driveway supply ample off-road parking.

Instantly evoking all the elegance and charm you could hope for a period property, Greenacre sits peacefully back from the leafy foliage of Philpot Lane behind a sweeping gravel driveway framed by graceful gardens stretching out beneath the dappled shade of statuesque Scots Pine trees. Utterly enticing, the steeped roofs, red brick and bow windows of its double fronted facade conjure a picture perfect first impression while inside an exemplary two storey layout offers a quiet sense of luxury.

Built in 1928 on the Coxhill Green Estate it has been home to the same family for the past 33 years. Extended and enhanced over the years, its versatile arrangement has enabled the running of businesses from home over those years.

Today Greenacre proffers an exceptional degree of flexibility to cater to your own lifestyle needs with potential options for a second entrance and selfcontained accommodation.

Step in from the canopied doorway and you’ll discover a central entrance hall with a turning staircase. Natural light tumbles in from classically tall windows, while the warming tones of Ted Todd wood floors and a soft heritage palette guide you through a wonderfully free flowing layout. French doors in each and every one of the rooms to the rear of the house open out onto a tremendous York stone terrace allowing daily life to feel connected with the gardens at every opportunity.

Two refined reception rooms each have focal point fireplaces and while one is a notable family room, the other reaches out over double aspect dimensions opening into a large luxury wetroom to give you the option of having a ground floor bedroom suite for adapted living. Equally impressive, a generously sized contemporary dining room is fitted with Vitsoe units.

Supremely well appointed, the kitchen/breakfast room continues the elegantly understated aesthetics proffering plentiful space for everyone to spend time together while you cook and catch up on the day’s events. Designed by the renowned Orchard Kitchens in Egham, its painted Shaker cabinetry and sleek countertops house an array of integrated Neff appliances. A matching central island delineates the space and while further French doors make al fresco dining easy, the impeccable adjoining conservatory leads the way to a stunning triple aspect drawing/ garden room with a magnificent vaulted timber ceiling. This is a versatile space and could also be used as an office or consulting room, since there is access via the conservatory to a pathway leading to the front of the house. A utility room and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor.

Upstairs the tastefully chosen heritage hues are echoed in each of the six double bedrooms. Looking out over the rear garden a superb principal bedroom has a fitted David James dressing room and a simply enviable luxury en-suite bathroom with an inset double ended bathtub and wetroom shower.

Generating a breathtaking backdrop to the house, the westerly-facing rear gardens of Greenacre wrap-around to produce an incredibly special place to escape from the world outside. A reclaimed York stone terrace is a discerning destination for al fresco entertaining and equally ideal to just simply sit back and admire your surroundings.

Two further bedrooms have deluxe en-suite shower rooms, whilst the sixth is a study/bedroom with Vitsoe fittings and Ted Todd wood floor to match the office below. Sympathetically styled to reflect the history of the house, the traditional suite of the spacious family bathroom is arranged in a rich navy blue wood panelled setting that adds a charming finishing touch.

Beautifully planted, a considered collection of daffodils, camellia, azaleas and cherry blossom combine with cottage garden flowers such as peonies and crocosmia and evergreen trees to add colour and greenery throughout each and every season.

SWEET TEMPTATION

Surrey and South West London are home to some sumptuous chocolatiers - so why not let your taste buds do the talking and treat yourself to the very best.

Our fascination for chocolate goes back centuries. In fact, long before Europeans began their relationship with the petite beans, the Aztecs and Mayans of South America were already using them as currency and also to honour their gods.

Cholcolate first arrived in Europe as a beverage in the 16th century. However, it was not instantly popular with one Italian critic, Girolamo Benzoni declaring that ‘it seemed more a drink for pigs’.

In England the ‘original’ hot chocolate was made by adding water or milk, sugar, egg yolks and more often than not, a shot of brandy. Early partakers would sip the mixture from a small bowl - the same way they took their tea! Chocolate cafes sprung up all over London and were seen as the very height of well-to-do society.

It wasn’t until the 18th century, when ‘edible chocolate’ became popular and one of the first references to it is in The Cook’s and Confectioner’s Dictionary (1723) in which author John Nott provides six preparations for chocolate that includes chocolate biscuits and chocolate wine.

Fast forward another 100 years and the chocolate bar is born with makers such as Fry’s and Cadbury’s making an appearance on the market.

Today, a whopping 79,000kg of chocolate is consumed in the UK each year! But for those weary of Wispas or tired of Twix, then why not sample something from one of Surrey’s outstanding artisan creators.

Sweet C

Based in the Surrey Hills, artisan chocolate maker Sweet C’s uses single origin couverture Colombian chocolate that has been accredited with ‘Fino de Aroma’ by the International Cocoa Organisation - an accreditation currently held by only 8% of cocoa in the world.

Owner Caroline produces of a selection of mouth-watering chocolates all ideal for Mother’s Day (or any day,) as well as some top-notch eggs and Easter-themed chocolate lollies.

Caroline and the team say: “We are proud to hand-make our chocolates and we are proud to make our chocolates in the Surrey Hills.” sweetc.co.uk

Kokoh Chocolate

Inspired by founder Joanna’s passion for fairly traded, fine quality cocoa and a sensational taste experience, Kokoh Chocolate is made in the Surrey Hills. Her chocolate creations have won various awards (including an impressive 14 Great Taste Awards), and at Easter she crafts beautiful chocolate animals and egg selection boxes, whilst her delicious mini bars make great Mother’s Day or birthday gifts too.

Joanna is a regular at Guildford High Street and Ripley monthly farmers’ markets, and you can find Kokoh locally at Bayley & Sage, The Good Wine Shop and Balance Kitchen.

Fans say: Himalayan Sea Salt by Kokoh... the best chocolate in the world ever!”

I’d rather be eating CHOCOLATE

Based in Hampton, the brilliantly and in my case very accurately named I’d rather be eating CHOCOLATE is run by artisan chocolatier, Karen. All of Karen’s edible creations are handmade fresh to order using a variety of high quality Belgium chocolate. At Easter, she makes a selection of very special eggs decorated by hand, and some wonderfully unique chocolate shoes filled with truffles - prices start at £12 per shoe (for eating, not wearing!)

Karen says: “I am dedicated to crafting delectable chocolate creations tailored to your every desire. With over seven years of experience in the art of chocolate making, I am passionate about using only the finest ingredients to deliver a truly indulgent experience.”

Danieli On The Green

Just down the lane from its ever-popular gelateria, authentic Italian chocolatier Danieli On The Green in Richmond is brimming with seasonal chocolate gifts, from beautiful big eggs and adorable hand painted chocolate animals, to a selection of stunning truffles and luxurious chocolates, all handmade in Danieli’s Richmond kitchen.

Many of our chocolates are made it the company’s Richmond kitchen, specialising in handmade truffles and its Danieli signature range. The team also creates its own Easter eggs alongside a range of hand-painted seasonal figurines - not to mention a selection of bars and chocolate lollies.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Architect and TV favourite George Clark talks building, books and why he just loves a Georgian house.

When it comes to restoration, renovation or redecoration, George Clarke is your man. He has graced our television screens for more than a decade sharing his take on Amazing Spaces, Small Spaces and most recently, his Adventures in Americana.

But now, the 48-year-old for Sunderland is turning his hand to a new project - a children’s book entitled How to Build a Home. We caught up with George to find out more...

Tell us about the new book?

It’s called How To Build a Home and is a book for 6-9 year olds so it’s a very accessible guide. It covers everything from different house types, how to work as a team, marvellous materials, how to think like an architect, 3D printed homes, ecological and sustainable homes, materials of the future and future technology. It is beautifully illustrated by Robert Sae-Hung who has brought my words to life in a fun and joyful way. I always say a good building makes you smile and I hope the book makes kids smile too.

What do you hope children will learn from it?

I hope children will be inspired to look at the existing homes we have around us, begin to understand which homes work, which homes don’t work and more importantly begin to think about the new homes we should be building that will be part of a clean, green and highly sustainable future.

So many of the mass new-build housing estates that are being constructed today just aren’t good enough for me. They aren’t designed very well, they aren’t built very well and certainly aren’t green enough. They aren’t very affordable either. There are some exceptions of course, but a lot of the huge housing estates aren’t up to scratch.

I hope the book will inspire a whole new generation of kids to get involved in architecture, construction and the built environment to create truly inspirational and life-changing homes across the country, homes that will improve the quality of our everyday lives, while also being good for the environment rather than damaging it.

What drew you to pursue a career in architecture?

My grandfather was a builder and I used to spend a lot of time on building sites with him when I was a kid. My grandad was a huge inspiration to me and made me look at the architecture and built environment that surrounds us. I also used to love drawing and sketching (I still do!) and spent more time drawing buildings and streets than anything else. So, it’s no surprise that I eventually became an architect. I knew exactly what I wanted to do from the age of 12 and never deviated from that. Architecture for me isn’t a job, it’s a passion and a way of life. I just love buildings and I’m obsessed by homes.

What would you say is your favourite style of architecture?

I love good old buildings and I love good new buildings so I never get into the ‘traditional v modern’ style debate. If it’s beautifully designed and well-built I don’t really care if it’s traditional or modern. But, I do absolutely love a Georgian townhouse. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like a beautiful Georgian house. The Georgians knew exactly what they were doing when it came to beautifully proportioned rooms and facades, elegant period detailing, high-ceilinged rooms and big sash windows letting in lots of natural light. I love a Georgian house!

What one piece of advice would you give to people thinking about renovating their homes?

Make sure you work with a talented architect, designer or interior designer to get the design absolutely right. If the design isn’t right and doesn’t exactly suit the way you want to live with your family then you are always going to be slightly disappointed. It’s all about design, design, design, getting a wonderful set of plans drawn up that nails exactly how you want your home layout to be and then finding a great, trustworthy builder to realise what has been drawn on those perfect plans.

HAIR WE GO

World renowned stylist Gustav Fouche is headed to Surrey. Prestige Homes catches up with one of hairdressing’s brightest stars as he settles in to his new Weybridge salon.

How did you discover your passion for hair styling?

I grew up in a salon! My mum is a hairdresser, my aunt is a hairdresser, I’ve got cousins who were hairdressers, however it was never really something I wanted to do after school. I left university to study law, and only when the law society asked me to help them with a fashion show, it was then I realised how much I loved the hair side and seeing the difference I can make with people. It brought in the spark for me and made me realise that I loved hairdressing, and 22 years later I have never looked back.

Which stylists inspired you?

When I started doing hair, people like Vidal Sassoon and Nicky Clarke, Tracey Cunningham, Sam McKnight, all of those people were inspirational and were like the first leaders in their field. Obviously they are of an older generation, and nowadays I find a lot of inspiration from the young stylists which are coming through. They are very good, creative, perfectionists and it is really refreshing and great to see their work and energy.

What was it like making the leap from top stylist to business owner? How did you know it was the right time?

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think there is ever the right time to go from an employee to salon owner. It is like having children... when it happens you embrace all that it has to offer.

I got to a point where I felt I wanted to do something that was mine, but in terms of ever being truly ready for what was coming, I most definitely was not. I think going into you own business, for me, was a massive eye opener. You become the ears and eyes of everything that happens, from your monthly utility bills to your HR and PR, it all now goes through you. I can confidently say the change from stylist to salon owner wasn’t double the amount of work, it was 1,000 times more.”

What brought you to Surrey?

In 2012, one of my clients fell pregnant. She asked if I could come and do her hair at home in Hersham for herself and one other person. Those two people then turned into six people. I then very quickly realised that doing people’s hair at home was not something I wanted to do. But once I had enough clientele to have my own Gustav Fouche salon in Weybridge, I wanted it to be a real celebration of my clients. They are very good and loyal to me, so I want to celebrate them by giving them a London salon experience in Surrey.

Once you find a good hairdresser people often stay with them for life! What do you think makes a good hairdresser?

I personally think a good hairdresser is a stylist who is able to interpret what the client is saying. Clients come to us for hair, but that is just a small percentage what they need from us. For example, if they’ve had problems at home, they need us to listen and to tune in and realise that there is so much more than just hair. Recently I’ve had a client who was quite unhappy with her hair, but once we delved into what was going on, there was a lot of issues going on at home, and all of a sudden, the fact I had tuned into that, it made her like her hair again. It was never about her hair, the client needs you to be sensitive, understanding and to listen. Therefore by doing hair, it is not always that is technically the best stylist, but the one that is intuitively the best and can understand their client.

You have worked with top designers and Hollywood celebs - how stressful are shows and shoots?

Like my previous answer, it is all about how well you tune in to the client. Both celebrities and designers have their own unique ideas and needs from you, and when you are completely present it makes it very easy.

I like to ask questions - lots of questions - to help me better understand what they are after, and by asking these questions, you very quickly realise everyone has their own ideas which you can help with.

From what they may like and what they may need, it may be something very subtle, or very dramatic. Once you have tuned into this, whether it is a designer or a Hollywood star, it makes it very easy. On top of listening, what they require from you is to give them confidence that you will do the job well, and that is something that I find quite thrilling. To find the connection to allow them to understand, that whatever happens, they will look and feel amazing once I have finished their hair.

Which style will all be wearing this summer?

Hair is becoming a lot shorter, so I think that the bob will continue to be worn by the general public. I can also see that clients are getting less scared to go shorter, which I love as it shows off the face a lot more as there is less hair to hide behind.

However, do I think shorter hair will prevail for a very long time? Definitely not. We will start to see in the next 18 months that hair will become much longer again, as will the 90’s blowdry. People are wanting more glamour, but at the moment shorter hair bobs, French bobs, Italian bobs, the pixie, they are all massively on trend.

The thing I would encourage all clients to do is to look at fashion and be part of it, but don’t follow it to a tee. Let fashion trends give you the confidence to try new things, but make sure your stylist can advise what will work best for you by personalising it bespoke to your face and colouring.

With heated stone tiled floor flowing underfoot, this combination of spaces creates an open plan yet delineated feel that’s equally suited for day to day life and entertaining.

Spanning 32’10 x 30’11ft, the superior triple aspect kitchen/dining room makes it irresistibly easy for daily life to filter outside with its French and bi-fold doors. An abundance of painted and beautifully crafted oak Shaker cabinetry is topped with granite and houses both a Rangemaster cooker and matching Americanstyle fridge freezer. Brilliantly broad, a spacious central island offers a wealth of bar stool seating and together with the glass splashback of the cooker its trio of midcentury pendants perfectly pick out the feature reds of the adjoining living room. Separate utility, boot, boiler and cloak rooms are finer details that make life easy, while the reception room/office and games room both tempt you into the peace and restfulness of a conservatory that once again proffers every excuse to step out onto secluded terracing.

The outstanding sense of space is echoed upstairs where a grand total of eight bedrooms supply a choice of accommodation for family and guests. Generating its own private wing, a marvellous principal bedroom sits in a gently elevated position that can be discreetly accessed from a second staircase. Double doors open onto an enviably expansive room that has a fitted dressing room, deluxe en-suite and an apex bay where French doors with a Juliet balcony give the ideal vantage point to admire your surroundings. Three further double bedrooms have equally impressive ensuites of their own and include one with a spiral staircase to a secret room on the second floor. Four additional bedrooms share a refined family bathroom. A laundry room completes the layout. It’s good to note, that this oil powered home includes underfloor heating. Its first class appointment includes a thermal store that takes its energy from the solar panels and log burner before using any oil.

Lined by the majestic form of statuesque trees, a sweeping driveway instantly engenders a sense of grandeur and exclusivity leading you from Gapemouth Road past capacious lawns and the graceful symmetry of the parterre.

The rustic texture of an exposed brick working fireplace sits perfectly against the backdrop of a feature heritage red wall in the living room, a log burner adds a homely feel to the commodious dining area and an expanse of glazing gives encompassing garden vistas.

Utterly breathtaking, the tree line stretches out for as far as the eye can see uniting seamlessly with those of the surrounding landscape and lending a wonderfully verdant change of colour through the seasons. Offering 18 acres of tranquillity and naturally hidden from passers-by, these immense grounds are bordered to one edge by the waters of the Basingstoke Canal and have lapsed planning permission for a two bedroom annexe.

Wrapping around the house, secluded terracing provides every opportunity to sit, recline or dine in the sunshine. Take a stroll and you’ll discover an outdoor swimming pool tucked away within a stunning backdrop of topiary, trees and lawns.

Today, the house (along with a tasteful extension) hosts an outstanding mix of 123 individually designed ‘rooms’ that includes junior and plush suites with some boasting a double bathtub or a Jacuzzi.

And as you would expect, the spa offers pampering befitting its palatial surrounding.

The well-stocked changing rooms are also something to behold where every wish has been catered for - the airy design, copious locker space, hairstyling equipment and fluffy towels means you can squeeze out that last bit of luxury until the time comes when you have to leave.

Exuding an unmistakable amount of charm it sits blissfully tucked away in The Hockering, a private gated estate created in the early 1900s by W. G. Tarrant the renowned master builder of the Wentworth Estate.

GUIDE PRICE £2,650,000

As one of the original homes in The Hockering, it retains an immense measure of its grace and grandeur whilst also offering an abundance of quiet luxury that emanates a subtle sense of calm and cohesion. Carefully curated and looking out onto the greenery of enviably private gardens from picture perfect casement windows, the tasteful aesthetics that flow throughout blend harmoniously with the original architecture. Filled with light the natural flow of its spacious layout unfolds from a wonderful central entrance hall onto 4,099 sq ft. Beneath the inspired addition of a glazed vaulted ceiling a superb double aspect sitting room produces an outstanding space in which to relax and entertain. The rich timber tones of its wood floor complement a heritage palette, a working fireplace creates a traditional focal point and while window seats proffer a peaceful spot to sit and admire your surroundings French doors connect you with the secluded terracing. Charming bay windows in the adjacent family and dining rooms offer further vantage points to enjoy the idyllic vistas, and whilst the tastefully modern family room is a great place to spend time together, the formal dining room transports you back in time with its exposed ceiling beams, distinguished panelling and quintessential fireplace. A stylish contemporary fitted study sits peacefully away from the reception rooms for a cherished work/life balance.

With natural light tumbling down from each of the galleried landings above, the sweeping curve of a classic turning staircase gently guides you upstairs where the consistent design themes are echoed throughout six exceptional double bedrooms.

With views that take in the gardens and swimming pool, across the entrance hall the pared-back aesthetics continue in a stunning kitchen/breakfast room where dual sets of French doors give daily life every opportunity to filter out in to the summer sun. The considerable breakfast room with its feature alcove seating is equally suited for family meals or evenings entertaining friends and flows fluidly into a first class kitchen where the considered expanse of glazing stretches up to a further vaulted ceiling. Supremely well appointed, its sleek cabinetry is topped with granite and designed to accommodate a range cooker and an American style fridge freezer. A matching central island with a waterfall countertop and bar stool overhang gives delineation to the open plan layout, while sofa space beneath the apex windows gives you the excuse to sit with a glass of wine and catch up on the

day’s events while you cook. An adjoining fitted utility room with side access keeps laundry appliances hidden from view, and a ground floor cloakroom sits discreetly back from the entrance hall.

Solid oak banisters with charming heart detailing give a rich warming contrast to the plush carpeting that runs cohesively underfoot, while marvellously large casement windows allow the gardens to add a picturesque backdrop at every turn.

Commendably sized and styled, four large bedrooms and three deluxe bath/shower rooms, with sumptuous suites that have roll top baths and waterfall showers, pepper the first floor giving everyone their own sense of space and luxury. Upstairs on the top floor two equally impressive bedrooms include one with an en-suite shower room and generate the option of having a TV room or study if needed.

Set within the tranquillity and seclusion of capacious grounds and gardens of 0.66 acres Weavers is perfectly placed in The Hockering to create its own wonderful semi-rural idyll whilst still being in a central Woking location. Tucked back from Danes Hill this prestigious home is sequestered by extensive wraparound lawns framed by the evergreen foliage of gloriously high hedging, majestically tall trees and statuesque conifers. It benefits from detached double garaging that has bifold doors, direct garden access and its own separate entrance to the grounds from Clear Down.

The French doors of the kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room entice you onto elegant terracing for al fresco dining, the simplicity of restful summer afternoons or a last glass of wine while watching the sun go down. An outdoor swimming pool and paved patio lend a tremendous destination on hot sunny days, and a brick built summer house is heavenly hideaway with a good book or the weekend papers.
