Description The Old and the Light: Stony Point

Just an hour’s drive from NYC, this Hudson Valley home is a world away from the bright lights and bustling streets. Your neighbour is the forest of Harriman State Park, ensuring peace and quiet. The huge garden is a veritable playground with a pool, firepit lounge, summer houses and gazebos for wining and dining outdoors, and a wrap-around terrace on the first floor where the barbecue station awaits. Inside, there’s even more to keep you entertained – a dedicated games room, a bar and a gourmet kitchen for the culinary whizz. There are almost as many sitting rooms as bedrooms, so there’s more than enough room for everyone to spread out, plus a tucked-away study for those working remotely.

Home truths:
*Three of the bedrooms have two sets of double beds, so would have four guests sharing at capacity. The small doubles are better suited to children sharing.
*Split across three floors, this place may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
*For infants, there is a permanent cot in one of the double bedrooms and a high chair in the kitchen.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 15th May and 15th September.
*In a remote location, having a car is recommended and there is private parking for up to ten cars on the driveway.
