Independent Property Rental

Kingsbury Place offers a beautiful lakeside view which can be seen from any part of the rear of the property or whilst enjoying a relaxing sit down on the balcony. The balcony can be accessed via the master bedroom. Guests can also see the lake and watch the wildlife while enjoying a relaxing sit down or sunbathe on the pool deck or even whilst taking a dip in the pool or relaxing in the spa. Both the pool and pool deck are larger than the average rental home and measure a total area of 50 ft x 35 ft, with a 34 ft x 16 ft private heated salt water pool and spa which are south facing. For added security around the pool there is a child safety barrier. A pool blanket is provided on a roller to help keep the heat in the pool, especially during the winter months and also when pool heating is specifically requested / paid for by our guests. The pool deck area also benefits from a covered lanai which is screened to protect the area from leaves, insects etc. The pool deck is equipped with six sun-loungers, patio table and eight chairs (please note the pool deck furniture no longer feature the cushions displayed on the chairs as shown in the pictures).

The pool deck area can be directly accessed from the main open plan family room, pool bathroom and the queen bedroom. The recommended exits for every day use for the pool deck area are the main open plan family room and the pool bathroom. Pool towels can be located in the linen cupboard for guests use whilst out on the pool deck area.

The benefits of a salt water pool over a traditional chlorine pool are really in the water management. However as it is salt rather than chlorine, it does eliminate some of the side effects that are sometimes experienced in chlorine pools such as, red irritated eyes, dry itchy skin, bleached bathing suits or green hair.

The pool is classed “Salt Water” because instead of using chlorine it uses salt to clean the water, the water passes over the salt and this extracts the natural chlorine that is in salt to keep the pool sterile. However the water is much softer because of this.

A chlorine pool is made up of a two chemical combination that is normally topped up every week and the PH needs to be balanced. Chlorine may cause problems especially for some children and can cause problems with eyes getting sore.

The other issue is that the pool evaporates over time and needs re-filling, however this then weakens the chlorine rate and the pool is less sterile and the PH balance changes, this can lead to ear infections etc.

A salt water pool works in a totally different way, salt contains a natural chlorine content and this is released naturally as the water passes over the salt. This is a natural balance and the PH is balanced at all times due to this being a non chemical reaction, the water is also softer and not as harsh on children.

The property owner has two young children and considered all the above aspects before choosing the type of pool to purchase for the property and felt that a “Salt Water Pool” was the best way to have a naturally balanced water system that will not be harmful to children. The water does not taste of salt and this is totally different to sea water and how harsh that can be.
