The Souther 
The Souther is a two-bedroom lodge with a design that feels spacious yet grounded, pairing clean architectural lines with deep-toned finishes and natural textures. A vaulted ceiling runs the length of the open-plan living space, where full-height glazing draws in natural light and opens directly onto a private terrace. Throughout, the materials palette has been carefully chosen—herringbone wood floors, a marble-topped island, and soft upholstery lend warmth to the contemporary interior. 

The kitchen is well-appointed for everyday living or entertaining, with sleek cabinetry, integrated Bosch integrated appliances. The dining area sits just alongside, positioned by the Crittall-style doors to take in views over the surrounding grounds. 

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and equally well appointed, making The Souther an ideal choice for two couples. Each enjoys direct access to the terrace and benefits from its own dedicated bathroom—one en-suite, the other just alongside—fitted with Hansgrohe fixtures and finished with clean-lined sanitary ware and bold geometric tiling. 

Externally 
The terrace extends the living space outdoors and is fitted with Akula furniture. Optional upgrades include a hot tub, pergola, or BBQ—ideal for making the most of the natural surroundings.
