About this property

Unique one bedroom country retreat with luxury interiors

Perfect for couples, this unique, award-winning retreat combines the tranquillity of the countryside with all the modern luxuries of city living. Quirky interiors and carefully considered rest and relaxation areas set the tone for this romantic Hertfordshire hideaway.

The Foaling Box is the largest of the Bethnal & Bec properties and offers a truly luxurious escape in an exceptional property.

Upon entering, you are greeted with a bright open-plan layout filled with natural light and character. Floor-to-ceiling windows connect this modern living space with its' beautiful, rural surroundings. Expertly finished with 90% recycled pieces, materials and furniture, the vibrant interiors bring the property to life with a contemporary flair, whilst careful attention to detail ensures you still have all the home comforts you could possibly need for your stay.

The kitchen/dining area comes well equipped with a kettle, microwave, coffee machine, Quooker hot tap, toaster, induction hob and oven, with the star of the show being the fire engine red smeg fridge/freezer! There is also an Ooni pizza oven for al-fresco catering, and the large, rustic dining table provides the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal.

Alternatively, you can treat yourself to the Staples Pantry, an in-house honesty pantry which contains a large selection of snacks, drinks, frozen meals, ice creams and locally made Gin & Vodka. You pay for what you enjoy via your in-retreat iPad. There is also a breakfast hamper for you to enjoy all the essentials on your arrival - you can choose your favourites when you book.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a comfortable living area, perfectly designed for two and cleverly separated from the kitchen with a continuation of the original beams. From the sumptuous sofa, you can enjoy watching your favourite movies on the large Smart TV, which you can link directly to your own Netflix, Amazon and other streaming accounts or re-live your childhood with the retro arcade games table, loaded with 3,000 games!

For a more serene afternoon, slip on the complimentary waffle robe and slippers and head to the reading nook, relaxing on the chaise lounge with a good book or perhaps listening to the vinyl record player. This can be paired with a Bluetooth speaker so you can enjoy an eclectic range of music as you put your feet up in front of the large double windows and watch the world go by.

Pass through the barn-style sliding doors next to the kitchen. You are welcomed into a decadent bedroom with a super king-size bed with Egyptian cotton bedding, soft furnishings, and a statement headboard- the centrepiece of this playful room. The bedroom also boasts a cinema projector screen so you can watch movies from the comfort of your own bed.

The en-suite bathroom features a clean and colourful mix of styles and materials, giving the space a truly unique and inviting feel. The bathroom has a separate rain shower where you will feel like you are enveloped in a tropical oasis; here, you can indulge in the complimentary Aromatherapy Associates products, perfect for an invigorating start to the day ahead. Alternatively, sink into the antique, roll top bath and wash off all the stresses of the day.

However, this is not the only tub you will get to enjoy!

To the rear exterior of the property, you will find a Whirlpool bath and shower where you can take a leisurely soak in the bubbles with your favourite tipple as you ponder the sunset and surrounding nature. Should you wish to dine outside, there is a bistro set for you to enjoy your morning coffee or a comfortable double daybed decorated with soft cushions and cosy blankets for you to while away the cooler evenings under the stars; as the logs crackle on the fire pit.

The enclosed rear patio provides complete privacy for you to enjoy the outdoor space fully. A large open paddock is also available for games of badminton or strolls with your pooch. To the front of the property, there is a dedicated parking space.
