Surrounded by countryside and garden views in the charming village of Greet, Milestone is a hidden treasure. The property dates back over 300 years and has been wonderfully renovated with a classic, contemporary finish that you will feel at home in. Whether you choose to stay in and relax or explore the area, Milestone is a perfect choice for multi-generational families getting together.
The main house is where you will spend your time with a fantastic orangery which is incredibly spacious and flooded with light. There is no end to possible entertainment with a projector and piano, or you could simply enjoy conversation over drinks. In the dining room you will be surprised by the glass-covered well, an unusual feature which adds intrigue to your meals together. With space to spread out there is also a comfortable snug if anybody wishes to curl up with a good book. The annexe provides accommodation for an additional five guests and also houses an infra-red sauna (available for an additional charge).
Planted with traditional English flowers, rose arches and topiary, the garden at Milestone is delightful. Sit outside and watch the steam trains pass during the day and in the evenings cherish the stillness of this country retreat. There is a table and chairs so you can dine al fresco and a lawned area for the dogs and children to play. Milestone is in a gated courtyard with parking for 5 cars.

Kitchen:
The large traditionally styled kitchen has all the modern conveniences you will need including a dishwasher and small appliances. Alongside an AGA there is an oven and two-ring hob and a very large fridge so you can prepare meals for the whole group. If you'd like a taste of luxury you could hire a private chef for the evening. Seating five there is a central breakfast bar and doors open out to the garden so you can easily take your morning coffee outside.
Dining Room:
The dining room sits at the back of the house and is light and airy. The table seats 12 so celebratory meals can be served together, and any additional younger guests can be seated together in the kitchen. There is an unexpected glass covered well in the corner of the room which is a curious feature bound to catch the eye.
Cloakroom:
A ground floor WC just off the dining room is a handy addition to the property.

For anybody that needs some quiet you can separate yourself from the group and read a book or watch the football in peace.
Orangery:
The spectacular orangery is the cherry on the cake of Milestone. With a large skylight this spacious room is full of light, and it is a spectacular place to gather together.
