Old Lakenham by Group Retreats

Experience the timeless elegance and sophisticated charm of the grand Old Lakenham estate. Step into the expansive double-height reception hall and venture into the spacious dining, family, and games rooms, where relaxation and entertainment harmoniously coexist.

The heart of this majestic home is the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast/sitting room. An awe-inducing vaulted skylight, handily arranged walk-in pantry, and seamless access to the meticulously landscaped gardens make it the perfect setting for group meals, sophisticated celebrations, or a serene retreat.

The luxurious main house, featuring six regal bedrooms and a breath-taking vaulted principal suite, complements the equally impressive, fully self-contained pool house, allowing for diverse adaptability – be it family reunions, upscale corporate retreats, or grand celebrations.

Relish in the serenity of the outdoor pool area, a tranquil haven available for use from April 1st to October 1st. Enjoy the warmth of the heated pool, unwind in the soothing hot tub, or explore the quaint pool house. Here you`ll find a stylish open-plan living area, a sleek en-suite shower room, and direct access to the paved pool terrace – the ultimate spot for basking in the afternoon sun or dining alfresco beneath the starlit sky.

Equally impressive are the property`s beautifully landscaped gardens. The lush lawns, mature plantings, mesmerizing rockery, tranquil pond, and captivating cascading waterfall promise to enrapture and delight. Multiple terraces with panoramic views provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertainment.

Nestled in the heart of the idyllic Loose village, Old Lakenham offers a harmonious balance between tranquil seclusion and convenient proximity to local amenities. Soak in the friendly atmosphere of local pubs, explore the charming village store, stroll through the serene Loose Valley Conservation Area, or simply enjoy the supreme privacy provided by the estate.

The property comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests, catering to diverse group needs with flexible sleeping arrangements, including super king beds, convertible zip, link beds, and snug sofa beds.

For larger gatherings, an additional private cabin can be booked as an additional extra, offering a cozy kitchen/living space, sleek bathroom, rooftop viewing terrace, and a secluded deck with stunning countryside views, accommodating an additional 6 guests.
