With school half term underway and the autumnal weather setting in, keeping your children entertained can sometimes pose a challenge. Rainy days and temperamental weather can make outdoor activities less appealing, so sometimes it’s all about creating a fun environment in the comfort of your own home. With this in mind, we’ve selected five fantastic homes which would be any child’s idea of paradise, from a country house with a soft play area, to a converted barn with a treetop adventure playground.
This grand country house certainly has all the bells and whistles within its 17 acres of grounds. From the indoor swimming pool and the all-weather tennis court, to the equestrian facilities and soft play area, there’s something for all ages and interests.
Standing outside this magnificent barn conversion , you wouldn’t know there was an adventure playground at this family home. Beyond the wildflower meadows, you’ll find a treetop adventure park – featuring a treehouse, rope bridge and a zip wire that takes you across the lake.
One of the tallest residential developments in Europe, the newly built River Park Tower offers a huge range of amenities including a cinema and games room, and even an impressive children’s play area – making this development a fabulous space to keep your little ones entertained.
Tudor Hall sits in almost three acres of grounds and is well-equipped for both children and adults. For kids, there’s a floodlit tennis court and an indoor swimming pool (complete with a sauna, steam room and gym for the adults!). There is also a children’s play area outside, with a large wooden climbing frame.
Sitting in the sought-after Farnborough Park, this wonderful Georgian-style home is ideal for those rainy days when you can’t leave the house. Alongside an indoor swimming pool, there’s a fabulous cinema room that seats up to nine people in plush theatre-style seats. And if the sun does make an appearance, there’s an adventure playground in the one acre of gardens.
