Secluded farmhouse with hot tub
Sleeping 10 | Hot tub | Worcestershire
The Farmhouse invites you to slow down and live the country life. This rambling, beautifully imperfect country house, is tucked away from the world. Enough for ten guests plus the dogs and a whole lot of space to simply be. Think long lazy mornings round the farmhouse kitchen table, hot tub soaks with wooded valley views. A table dressed for feasting together, a secure garden for the dogs and little ones to play and a house packed with character that tells stories of its past along with interiors layered with considered vintage finds and thoughtful touches.
The kind of home you want to linger in. This is big-house country living, done the Secret Bolthole way.
About
Rambling farmhouse with hot tub
Grand yet cosy in feel, full of character and history. Like people, the Farmhouse is many layered from medieval bones to Georgian additions, high ceilings meet oak beams, with four floors of rambling rooms to escape to. The big farmhouse kitchen invites you to slow down over long dinners and lazy breakfasts. Choose between a lounge with woodburner or snug to retire with a good read or film. This home has been filled with vintage and new, to reflect the passing of time in this farmhouse, this house demands to be lived-in and loved, balancing the warmth of an authentic English country home with just enough uniqueness to make it feel special.
Sleeping ten across five welcoming bedrooms, and four floors. There's room here to really spread out — whether you're gathering the whole family under one roof, celebrating that special occasion or finally making that girls' weekend happen. This is the kind of big house stay where there’s room for all.
Living space
The Kitchen / Dining Room (ground floor)
The front door opens straight into the heart of The Farmhouse - it's kitchen. A big old table sits at the centre the place to pull up a chair for a brew in the morning and don't leave until well past midnight. Everything happens here. The cooking, the eating, the long winding conversations that only seem to happen on holiday.
Fitted cabinetry sits alongside freestanding dresser, open wood shelves add hops and fairy lights over the table and you have the perfect Farmhouse kitchen. Underfloor heating warms tootsies. A range cooker & double fridge freezer make cooking for a crowd easy. A full complement of crockery, glassware, utensils and serving dishes means everything from lazy breakfasts to three course meals for ten can be catered for. Fancy a weekend off? Why not arrange a meal on arrival or book Ellie to private chef for your special dinner.
The Lounge
Open plan to the kitchen the lounge is where you curl up for a morning coffee, or retire after dinner. A wood-burner makes this space perfect for seamlessly cooking, eating and lounging all in one space. With lake views and window seat to curl up, two generous sofas this is where you'll sip pre-dinner cocktails and retire with a nightcap.
The Snug (ground floor)
Tucked away at the rear of the house, the snug is the room for those who need a quieter corner. Burnt orange, warm taupes and deep greens make it feel genuinely timeless — Two sofas, a biofuel stove for a no faff real flame, bookcases full of good reads, or the TV to stream whatever you've been saving. This is the escape from the mêlée — and every large houseful needs one.
The Boot Room & Utility (ground floor)
Country houses and muddy expeditions go hand in hand, and The Farmhouse has you covered. The back door opens into a rear porch leading through to a generous boot room — space enough for ten people's clobber - wellies and walking gear, plus everything for the dogs. A downstairs cloakroom and utility room lead off here, so the chaos stays contained and the rest of the house stays clean.
The Games Den (basement)
From the rear hallway, a door leads down to the basement . A pool table, games console and pallet sofa make it the natural landing spot for kids of all ages, leaving the adults in possession of the sitting room upstairs. A side door leads out directly to the side garden and hot tub, which is the perfect outdoor space for ball games and a little shade.
The Bedrooms
The Farmhouse boasts five generous bedrooms with flexible sleeping arrangements
The Sunflower Room -Twin or King (First floor)
The Sunflower Room looks out over the lake and catches the morning light. Choose between twin for friends or king bed for couples. This room shares a bathroom with the iris room.
The Rose Room - Twin or King with ensuite bathroom
The Rose Room has a certain romance about it. An original fireplace, wooden floorboards, lake views and an en-suite that stops you in your tracks — an en-suite with roll top bath looks out over the garden. Choose between twins or king bed arrangement.
The Wisteria Room - King with en-suite shower room
Dressed in greens and pinks with a nod to the climber which creeps across the house, the Wisteria Room is a king bedroom with fitted cupboards and has it's own en-suite shower room.
The Lavender Room - King with en-suite bath/shower room
The Lavender Room is the dual-aspect room right at the end of the house— high ceilings provide the luxury of space. An en-suite with a bath and shower over make this a self-contained retreat perfect for Mum and Dad, or the Hen.
The Iris Room - (second floor) In eaves - Double bed and single bed
Up on the second floor, tucked into the eaves, the Iris Room has the charm that only the top of an old house can offer — with a double bed one end and a single the other, this is perfect for kids sharing, girls weekends or a solo guest wanting their own floor entirely. This room shares a shower room located on the floor below with the sunflower room.
Outside
A driveway leads to a large parking area overlooking the lake with wooded valley views. These secure grounds offer a large lawned garden, a generous terrace to the front of the house with outdoor dining for ten and lounge seating around a fire pit. Steps lead down from the terrace to a lower lawn overlooking the lake, where you'll find the hot tub tucked behind wooden sleepers for privacy. The perfect secluded spot to soak.
