A Manicured Moment

A Manicured Moment: New York

You'll walk with your head held a little higher through the halls of this Hamptons home. A sweeping driveway lined with trees and neatly trimmed shrubbery sets the tone as you approach. As you step inside, classical style blends with quirky pops of colour and vintage pieces for a really homely feel. And the coral tones of the kitchen and den offer a more rustic touch. Stroll five minutes up the block to explore the village of Southampton, packed with lavish restaurants, or peruse the classy boutiques. But, when in The Hamptons, it's hard not to escape the urge to simply lounge under an umbrella, sipping a cool glass of ice tea by the pool all day – and that's absolutely fine here too.

Home truths:
*You are all set for the beach here, as chairs, towels and a sunshade umbrella are ready and waiting

*The garage can park two cars and four can fit in the driveway, but with everything just a short walk away and two adult bikes provided, you might not be needing them as much as you think
