You wake with the dawn chorus. Your partner is sleeping soundly. Dragonflies dance on the water as you step outside, and ponder breakfast. But first, you’re going to give that book some attention in the roll top bath. For here, time is on your side. So too space and tranquillity, and the only thing for it is to gently go with the flow.
Blackbird
Ensuite Houseboat and Bath House
The Property
Sleeps two on an elegant barge with ensuite shower room, permanently moored on a private lake teeming with fish and wildlife. Beautifully, thoughtfully designed, with a state-of-the-art kitchen, the open-plan space is perfect for two. It features a dining table, a wood burner and a sink-in comfy sofa – ideal for putting your feet up while your partner conjures brunch. And then there’s the front deck; the swirling morning orchestra of birdsong is a must. Here, peace is plentiful. Meander in 20 acres of woodland, take a long, luxuriant bankside bath, get cosy by the fire or, with rod cast, simply put your feet up; however you go, go slow.
