Lake View House, Panoramic sunsets near Stourhead | House in Gillingham

A totally unique and rare find of a house with an open-plan kitchen/ living area where you get your own private sunset. Breathtaking views, ideal for family + friends/nature lovers/city breaks. (Sorry no parties/ or pets). Superfast broadband. Watch the sun go down with a cocktail in hand, accompanied by breathtaking views of countryside fields to King Alfred's Tower and far beyond.
The house is spacious, bright and wonderfully peaceful. There is underfloor heating throughout, which can be controlled manually in every room by a panel on the wall - making the house amazing for both winter and summer! On hot days pop open the sliding glass doors onto the dining area and equipped with outdoor seating for 8 people (also ideal for star gazing at night). The garden is south/west facing so it can get hot and we are on a hill so be mindful it can get windy quite quickly. On rainy days it’s mesmeric to watch the weather transform/evolve across this special landscape. An elegant open plan living space/tv room, a huge modern kitchen and a 'play room/office' for ping pong/ games or sneaking away for some quiet time. In the entranceway, you’ll find plenty of space for boots and coats for post muddy walks.
All the bedrooms are individually styled and located at the back of the house for up to 8 guests in 2 Super-Kings, 1 Double and 1 twin bedroom. All have usb plugins for your phones. The bedrooms are not all ensuite so the guests in bedroom 3 and 4 will need to share. There are 4 bathrooms, 2 ensuite (3 with walk-in showers and 1 with a bath) and in the main corridor there is a toilet with a basin. There is exercise weights available in the games room if you decide to do a work out facing the view.
