LARGE COUNTRY HOUSE TO LET - ONLY 2 HOURS FROM LONDON IN CENTRAL ENGLAND
The Freeth is a large country house to let only 2 hours from London (depending where you live - the capital city is a big place)! Located in stunning English countryside on the idyllic border of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, The Freeth is the perfect choice if you are looking for a big holiday house to let in the English countryside, located in central England and just 2 hours drive from London.
The Freeth is located in the secluded grounds of Netherwood Estate and offers luxury, self-catering holiday accommodation for large groups of up to 18 guests. There is so much to enjoy here during your short break, including exclusive use of our private, heated, indoor swimming pool, the use of two private lakes where you can enjoy fishing, kayaking and wild swimming, and there are a number of beautiful walking trails for those wishing to explore. Netherwood Estate is also home to the country’s longest private narrow gauge steam railway.
One of the highlights of The Freeth are the stunning grounds designed by Chelsea Flower Show multi-gold medal winner Robert Myers. The garden and grounds are planted with wonderful flowers, an orchard full of fruit trees, picturesque ponds (don't worry, these are fenced), lawns, a walled garden that catches the evening sun, perfect for drinks before dinner and a wisteria covered south-facing terrace ideal for long leisurely lunches.
With far-reaching views across the totally unspoilt Herefordshire-Worcestershire countryside and no roads, streetlights or other houses to be seen, this is the ideal house to relax and get away from it all.
indoor swimming pool
The Freeth boasts a private, heated indoor swimming pool which sits in the courtyard just a few steps from the house. It is a wonderful heated indoor pool with changing rooms and south facing windows with views overlooking the gorgeous garden and pond.
kayaking
We have two private lakes here at Netherwood Estate which you are very welcome to use for kayaking, wild swimming and/or fishing. One of these lakes is well stocked with trout, so if you enjoy fishing, this is just the place.
wild swimming
Leave your worries behind you and escape to the English countryside for some rest and relaxation. Get up close and personal with nature and the environment around you - what better way to take your mind off things than with a spot of wild swimming!
The Freeth was originally a hunting lodge on the edge of the ancient Netherwood Estate and its medieval deer park, and has now been lovingly restored and transformed into a stylishly furnished and incredibly comfortable house with no detail overlooked. The Freeth is hidden away up a no-through road surrounded by some of the most unspoilt, beautiful countryside imaginable on the border of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, so if you are looking to get away from it all with a short break in a large country house only 2 hours from London, The Freeth may be just the answer!
