Foxgloves

Foxgloves: Hampshire

This idyllic family home will be loved by all ages. The kids will never get bored here: they can spend their days playing football in the garden, bouncing on the trampoline, or splashing around in the paddling pool. There are plenty of rainy day activities, too, with a whole host of board games inside, as well as toys, books, and even a piano to tinker on.

While there is plenty of entertainment for the youngsters, the house stays elegant thanks to its modern British meets Scandi design. The red brick fireplace, Persian rugs and pops of plant life lend the sitting room a cosy feel, while the main bedroom is set across the top floor and is a sanctuary of calm for the grown ups, with its king size bed, ample wardrobe space and en suite bathroom. There is also a desk beneath the skylights so you can work in peace.

The house is located in Holybourne, and there is plenty to see in the area. The picturesque market town of Farnham is a ten minute drive away, or you can hop on the Watercress Line steam train which takes you to Alresford, a postcard-perfect Georgian town with quaint tea houses, country pubs and local shops. On sunny days, ramble down one of the public footpaths near the house, through beautiful scenery. There are two playgrounds within walking distance and a big field opposite the house for epic family football games.
