Toadsmoor House

The House:
Behind its Victorian facade, Toadsmoor House unfolds across four floors of generous, light-filled rooms. High ceilings, sash windows and original period features sit alongside a calm, considered interior palette, with living and dining spaces designed to bring the whole party together and seven bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, to retreat to at the end of the day.

Living Spaces:
At the heart of the house are three distinct living spaces. The lounge, reached through the open archway off the main hallway, looks out onto the garden and is the natural spot for guests to congregate and socialise. The main formal living room offers deep wrap-around sofas, relaxed seating and a TV, while the snug and movie room provides a quieter escape, with books, board games, a TV and a games console.

Kitchen and Dining:
The kitchen is fully equipped for catering at scale, with a range cooker and induction hob, dishwasher, microwave and large American fridge freezer, alongside everything needed for anything from lazy breakfasts to a celebration dinner. Private chefs and catering can be arranged on request.

The dining room seats the whole party at a long, generous table, with doors opening onto the patio for summer aperitifs. A separate pantry off the dining room provides food storage and an abundance of additional appliances, while at the far end of the room a dedicated drinks bar comes complete with two large drinks fridges, glassware, coffee cups and tea mugs, a sink and a glasswasher.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
Each bedroom has been individually designed, combining period character with hotel-quality beds, crisp linens, considered lighting and bedside USB-C charging. Six bedrooms have their own en-suite, each with a rain shower, while the seventh enjoys private use of the family bathroom, complete with both a rain shower and a freestanding bath.

Outdoors:
The secluded, green gardens wrap the house in privacy, with lawns, mature trees and an 80-square-metre patio for outdoor seating and dining. The wood-fired hot tub and fire pit area make the garden as much a part of the stay as the house itself, sunken into the greenery for long soaks and late evenings under the stars, while the gas BBQ and gas pizza oven open up extensive outdoor dining. Beyond the property, walking trails lead straight out into the Five Valleys and the surrounding countryside.
