The Residence - Sleeps 10
Welcome to The Residence – your perfect countryside escape designed for comfort, connection, and relaxation.
Set in a peaceful rural setting, The Residence is a beautifully styled and spacious barn conversion that blends rustic charm with modern elegance. Whether you're planning a special family gathering, a group retreat, or a multi-generational holiday, this thoughtfully designed home offers everything you need to unwind in style and comfort.
Space to Gather, Room to Breathe
The Residence offers ample space for up to 10 guests across 5 separate sleeping areas, making it ideal for large families or groups traveling together. The property features:
4 spacious bedrooms, including 3 with private ensuite bathrooms, each designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind. Expect crisp linens, cozy furnishings, and plenty of natural light.
A double sofa bed in a separate living area, offering additional sleeping flexibility without sacrificing privacy.
A large family bathroom featuring a jacuzzi tub—perfect for soaking after a day of countryside adventures.
Designed for Togetherness & Flexibility
With two fully equipped kitchens, The Residence is perfect for shared cooking, group meals, or giving different parts of your group the freedom to cater independently. Each kitchen includes modern appliances, dishwashers, and plenty of space for preparing anything from a quick breakfast to a celebratory feast.
The home also includes multiple living and lounge areas, offering spaces to gather, play games, watch a movie, or simply relax by the fire. The layout encourages both togetherness and privacy—ideal for extended stays or groups with varied needs.
A separate utility room is equipped with a washing machine and dryer, making longer visits convenient and stress-free.
Countryside Charm & Modern Comfort
The Residence is surrounded by rolling countryside views, with large windows and thoughtfully placed seating areas that invite guests to slow down and soak in the peaceful surroundings. The interiors are a stylish mix of rustic barn features—like exposed beams and wooden floors—paired with contemporary comforts and chic, modern décor.
Outside, you’ll find space to enjoy the fresh air, with garden areas perfect for a morning coffee, outdoor dining, or an evening glass of wine under the stars.
Ideal for Multi-Generational Stays
One of the standout features of The Residence is how well it works for multi-generational families or groups of friends. With separate sleeping areas, two kitchens, and several social spaces, everyone can find their own corner of comfort while still enjoying the time together. Grandparents, parents, kids, and couples alike will all feel at home here.
Location & Local Highlights
Tucked away in the countryside, yet close enough to local villages, country pubs, and scenic trails, The Residence is perfectly located for a relaxing rural break. Guests can enjoy:
Long walks through nearby fields and woodlands
Visits to charming local towns and farm shops
Traditional pub meals just a short drive away
Easy access to family-friendly activities and cultural sites and the use of two hot tubs for your stay.
Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat, a celebratory gathering, or just quality time with the people you love, The Residence at The Estate offers the ideal setting to create unforgettable memories.

About the host
Hosted by Claire Glendenning

We're a family who genuinely loves creating welcoming, comfortable spaces for others to enjoy. The Residence is a place we've poured care and attention into — designed to bring people together while giving everyone space to relax. Whether you're celebrating something special, reuniting with loved ones, or simply escaping the everyday, we want you to feel at home here. We’re local, approachable, and happy to help if you need anything during your stay — otherwise, we’ll leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it offers the perfect balance of peace, beauty, and connection to nature. The rolling countryside, fresh air, and wide-open spaces immediately felt like a place to slow down and truly unwind. It’s close enough to charming villages, local pubs, and walking trails to enjoy the best of rural life—yet still feels wonderfully private and tucked away. We knew it would be the ideal spot for families and groups to gather, relax, and create lasting memories.
What makes this property unique
What makes The Residence truly unique is the way it combines space, style, and flexibility under one roof. With two fully equipped kitchens, four beautifully appointed bedrooms (three en-suite), and multiple living areas—including a separate lounge with a double sofa bed—it’s perfect for families or groups who want to be together without feeling crowded.
The thoughtful design makes it ideal for multi-generational stays, with plenty of room to gather, and just as much space to enjoy quiet moments. The interiors blend rustic charm with modern comfort, and features like the jacuzzi bath and countryside views elevate the stay from everyday to something special.
Add in the peaceful setting, fresh air, and room to truly relax—and The Residence becomes more than just a place to stay. It's a place to feel at home.
