Escape the city at this hilltop Hamptons home, situated in the peaceful hamlet of East Quogue. Its impressive interior and 1.5 acres of landscaped grounds offer luxurious living both inside and out. And while its orange, teal and purple colour scheme is unlikely to appeal to everyone, it's hard to fault the fit, finish and facilities on offer here. The private saltwater pool, eight-person hot tub and basketball net will see a lot of use on sunny days, with a selection of large-format garden games to get everyone involved. East Quogue's bustling main street is lined with restaurants and locally owned shops, while there are several ocean-facing public and private beaches lining the Long Island coast.
Home truths: *Two of the bedrooms share a 'Jack & Jill' en-suite bathroom
*Given the location, you'll need access to a car to fully explore the area – there's parking on the drive for up to three vehicles, with space for one in the garage
*Access to the home is via a private entrance
*Guests travelling with young children should note the pool and hot tub are unfenced
*Two full-size bikes and two children's bikes are provided
*The four bedrooms are situated on the first floor with stair access only, so the home may not be suitable for guests with more limited mobility
