“Deer Leap House truly felt like a generous country estate, spacious enough for a large family gathering with grounds that invited exploration, even in cooler weather. I particularly appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, complete with an Aga, and the sheer delight of spotting deer right outside the windows. It's easy to imagine this house buzzing with activity in the summer, with its pool and ample outdoor spaces.”
