When 20 is the perfect number.
Twenty is the milestone-celebration scale. Big birthdays with the extended family: cousins, in-laws, godparents. Wedding parties using the house as their base. Stag or hen weekends where the whole group wants to stay together.
Houses at twenty start to feel substantial. Usually ten bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, often a games room or cinema room, sometimes a pool. If you’re hoping to host part of the celebration on site, this is the size where that becomes practical.
48 houses, sleeping 20 to 25, with weekends from £1,600.
