• Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday 16th June 2013
• 65% of fathers would rather not get anything than yet another tie as a gift (Fox News)
• Father of three, James Wyatt, suggests the perfect property presents

But research from Fox News reveals that 65% of fathers would rather receive nothing.  Another tie or a silly mug holds no thrills on this big day.  Only 18% would like a personal care product and 14% desire an automotive accessory; maybe their offspring should be thinking more creatively?

So what could we be buying?

Well for most fathers their home is their castle so a property related gift might be the answer. James Wyatt, affectionate father of three and Partner of leading estate agency, Barton Wyatt in Surrey offers his suggestions for the perfect Father’s Day property present:

“Father’s day for me is about spending time with my lovely children, any present is very secondary.  For some fun, here is the Barton Wyatt fantasy father’s day gift list.”

For the petrol-headed Dads out there then Carnanton is the perfect choice. This enormous 6 bedroom £6,950,000 home located on the exclusive Wentworth Estate was built by a serious car enthusiast in 2009 who incorporated a gargantuan garage easily capable of accommodating five cars. Sitting safely under the house with electric doors, this garage provides the perfect combination of space and security.

For the busy working father then the Jacuzzi elegantly set into the decking of Bourne House, the 5 bedroom £3,150,000 property in Virginia Water would be a great way to wind down after a long day in the city. Affording many benefits with the hydrotherapy soothing tense muscles, increasing flexibility as well as your range of motion, not to mention the sheer pleasure of relaxation, having your own hot tub in the privacy of your landscaped garden is a real treat.

York House could be just the ticket for any Dads out there who always wanted their own public house! This grade II listed property located just outside Chertsey subsisted as a brewery from 1600 before being commissioned as the Cock Inn public house whilst retaining its beer making capabilities! This quintessentially looking English ‘pub’, available from £1,300,000 overlooks the village cricket green and still very much looks the part as an English coaching house.

Those Dads out there passionate about keeping fit will love Wilton. This £5,350,000 house, also located on the Wentworth Estate, is a sporting dad’s dream with its own air-conditioned gymnasium.  Perfect for any chap keen to impress his friends by flexing muscles and putting them through their paces in his own personal sports centre.

If your Father prefers a more sedate way of winding down from a stressful week by putting their feet up and turning on the box then a home with a terrific entertainment system will be a certain winner. A home cinema such as that located in Strawberry Fields or perhaps Park Place even has its own cinema complete with a box office.

No Father’s Day would be perfect without some home gadgetry gifts.  Dads who are into the latest gizmos will need a home such as Waterford House.  Jam-packed with gadgets – baths which can be run from an iPhone and outside speakers for blasting out some Dire Straits at a party or perhaps some Men at Work whilst doing the garden.  One button can transform the family room and master bedroom into a home cinema complete with substantial projector screens and electric blackout blinds; and if that’s not enough this house is keyless – all operated with door codes  – perfect for a Trekkie Dad.

Back at Bourne House, the 8 x 10 ft wine cellar will get many a Dad waxing lyrical about his Merlots and Vigoniers.  That Black & Decker hand crafted rack no longer cuts the mustard as wines need to be stored on their sides between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit in a cool, dark environment. Invest in the real McCoy and make your Dad the envy of all his wine connoisseur friends.

And finally, keeping the best for last, Somerset House in Wentworth is the ultimate for the (often embarrassing) party Dad complete with dedicated entertainment room and bar! The lower ground floor of this incredible 7 bedroom, £6,950,000 house is fitted with a superb cinema which adjoins a garden room festooned with a fully equipped cocktail bar which opens onto the garden logia. As well as this, the lower ground floor also includes a gymnasium and spa bath with steam room – all of which can be opened up for parties.
