Description
Only 30 mins from London yet set amongst thousands of acres of woodland and countryside, the Pumping Station has miles of footpaths and bike trails directly on its doorstep, and is engulfed by birdlife, wildlife and endless country pubs. The space The Pumping Station annex has been converted from a 1888 industrial building (see Channel 4's Restoration Man) and comprises a 6x4m living and kitchen area, a 3.6x3m double bedroom and 3x2m bath/shower room. (There is an additional 3.2x3m bedroom that can be included in the rental by the locking and unlocking of various doors. This is included in the rental for numbers over 2 people.) It is underfloor centrally heated throughout by ultra efficient heat pumps; hot water comes from the sun, as does 50% of it's electricity; it is lit almost exclusively by LEDs and has 35Mb WiFi broadband. A 'breakfast' island for for 4/5 bums has been cleverly designed for lunch and dinner as well... The kitchen has an induction hob, a combo oven and microwave, and a large fridge freezer, a small dishwasher and a sink with a 'very nice tap'. The other half of the living area has a lovely sofa bed (6'x 3'6"), Freeview TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, a B&W Zeppelin and various USB and iPhone adapters. The main bedroom has a double bed and any number of shaker pegs for your stuff. We can swap out the shelves for and extra 5' child's bed. The second bedroom has a bunk that converts to two singles or pushes together to make a double - and a third, pull-out single. And, we have various cots and baby baskets if needed. Guest access The annex is part of the main house separated by a locked door. It has its own entrance, parking, facilities etc. If we're not here, you're welcome to use the garden as your own, but we may ask you to feed the chickens! When we are about we try to keep out of your way, but it is likely you'll see us pottering about in the garden . Also, a place like this needs upkeep so occasionally there will be lawn mowing, trimming, hedge trimming, maintenance (... the list goes on!) during working hours. Unfortunately, our accessibility is very poor. Being an industrial conversion, we have had to work with the building as was and there are steps and narrow doorways throughout. Other things to note This is cyclist central. The lanes are prefect for road bikes and the trails for off road bikes. And then there are the footpaths for the less "revolutionary"...! Sorry, I'm a dad. Lastly, I’m afraid we can’t accommodate groups of six adults. We list the place as six, because we can accommodate a family of six - including couples and children - but when it comes to groups, it’s just not suitable. I'm sorry. This is an ongoing problem with the way capacity is advertised but AirBnB hasn’t, so far, been able to provide a solution.
