Description Plutus' Playground: Water Mill

Walking into this 12,000sq feet home is not dissimilar to walking into a modern art gallery, as interior design, luxury, and home comforts collide. Whether it's eyeing up the wall sculptures in the monochrome living space or finding meaning in one of the art pieces, stays here have got front row seats to the private collection. We're not just bowled over by the artwork; double-height ceilings and huge windows light the lounge, with a marbled fireplace providing cosiness. There's plenty of fun to be had too – whether it's battling it out on consoles in the games room, trying your hand at pool, or exploring the wine cellar. When you tire of exploring the labyrinth of rooms inside, step out to the beautiful gardens for a dip in the pool, a game of tennis, or simply mixing up a cocktail in the pool house's bar – this is a holiday after all.
