Neighbourhood information

This property is located on Lower Mill Estate which is privately owned and located on a huge nature reserve. The facilities at the house, and on the wider Estate, are second to none. There are a myriad of activities on-site including paddle boarding, kayaking, cycling, swimming, walking... And there are tennis courts and playground on-site too. You will spot lots of birds and wildlife throughout the Estate. My greatest achievement is catching a glimpse of a Bittern a few years back - their vocal range is immense! The unpredictability of our lovely British weather doesn't phase us either, the stunning on-site spa means warm swimming for all throughout the year, and air conditioning at Merlin House is an unexpected godsend those few scorching summer days that might creep up on us! Lower Mill Estate is less than 2 hours from London and the perfect place for families to get together.
