If you’ve ever dreamed of staying in a typical New England mansion, then this modern home is just the ticket. Only you’re not in the Hamptons – this is Hampshire, in good old Blighty. From the panoramic window walls to the contemporary furnishings, this is a super sophisticated escape to the country. There are rustic touches, with plush sand-coloured sofas in the sitting room, and a soft blue country kitchen, creating a homely feel. Large, stylish bedrooms include two playful children’s rooms, and bathrooms feature luxurious walk-in showers and free-standing tubs. Spend fun times in the games room, or outside on the family-sized football pitch and climbing frame. Or head down to the lower ground floor and slip into the luxurious indoor pool or sauna. Outside, a stunning deck wraps around the back of the home, with an alfresco dining area and loungers for sunny days. While beneath is the lower ground floor patio, with a relaxing lounge area accessed directly from the pool. Beyond that, the lush green grounds offer an idyllic setting to unwind and reconnect with friends and family.

About Portsmouth
Forget what you think you know about the navy – a maritime masterclass waits for you in Pompey. One of the UK’s oldest seaside destinations (and the country’s only island city), Portsmouth was once the world’s greatest naval port. So, unsurprisingly, the big draw here is the nautical history. The city’s armada lies at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard – HMS Victory (1759-1765), HMS Warrior (1860) and the Mary Rose (Henry...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
