As dusk falls, retreat to the relaxed living space for fireside tipples, where two comfortable sofas and a sumptuous armchair nestle beside the wood burning stove, welcoming serene spells of shared calm. You'll also find a variety of tales within the well-stocked bookcase, promising cosy, story-filled nights into the late hours.

Five bedrooms await at Pomera, four of which reside on the first floor.

Encompassing the entire second floor, the master bedroom invites hushed moments with its super king bed, chaise longue, and two sweet reading nooks that overlook the swimming lake. For stowing belongings, there are two chests of drawers, two large, fitted wardrobes with ample hanging space, and a vanity table perfect for pampering in the glow of the morning sun. Beyond the bedroom lies the spacious ensuite, bathed in light with a far-reaching outlook across the garden. Savour unhurried mornings beneath the rainfall shower and indulgent evening soaks in the freestanding slipper bath, with dual sinks and heated towel rails for added comfort.

With high ceilings and a feature fireplace, the second bedroom exudes Victorian charm. Lingering lie-ins are elevated by spellbinding garden views towards the private swimming lake, with a super king bed cocooned in cushions and throws in soft shades of pink and blue.

Promising equally striking vistas across the lake, the third bedroom welcomes heavenly slumber with a king-size bed dressed in cloud-soft linens and styled in soothing shades of blue, complementing the abstract artwork. A large mirror rests above the feature fireplace, accompanied by a chest of drawers and a hanging ladder, offering ample space to store your belongings.

Styled in a lullaby of soft blush and dreamy blue, the fourth bedroom presents a super king bed with a timeless striped headboard, draped in the finest linens. A Pooky lamp sits elegantly beside a sumptuous chaise, with a chest of drawers and a hanging ladder offering ample room for beautifully organised belongings.

A darling space to unwind, the fifth bedroom is home to a sumptuous zip-and-link super king bed, framed by a playful striped backdrop in gentle blush hues. At one end, an antique chest of drawers offers elegant storage, while at the other, a cosy armchair sits beside a wall hung mirror and hanging ladder for tranquil repose.

Step into the first family bathroom, wrapped in powder pink walls and home to a large freestanding bath which sits proudly before a large window with mesmerising views across the natural swimming lake.
