With lakes, waterways and acres of surrounding countryside, this contemporary waterside escape is a wonderful choice for families and groups of friends. With direct access to the lake and a private jetty, launch a kayak, try your hand at fishing or simply sit and relax by the water. Alternatively, cycle through the estate, challenge each other to a game of tennis or head to the Activity Hub. Younger members of the group can get creative with nature crafts, learn about wildlife through Nature Explorers sessions or burn off energy at the soft play. Enjoy the award-winning family spa, with heated indoor and outdoor pools and treatments available. When it’s time to eat, there’s an on-site restaurant, pizza shack and tipi bar, while the market is useful for picking up holiday treats. Somerford Keynes, Cotswold Country Park and Cotswold Sculpture Park can all be reached within a mile.
Underfloor-heated tiles welcome you into this impressive abode, a comforting touch after days exploring the surrounding lakes and nature reserve. The ground floor houses a neutral-tone family bathroom, alongside four bedrooms. The first has a stylish double bed with storage beneath, while further along the hall is a king-size bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Another double bedroom boasts spectacular views across Howells Mere, with both this bedroom and the king-size room opening onto the expansive overwater deck via sliding glass doors. A peaceful third double bedroom completes this floor. Upstairs, the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is framed by full-height glazing and a striking double-height vaulted ceiling, showcasing the scenic lakeside setting. Leather sofas form an inviting hub for family gatherings, with a Smart TV for evening entertainment, and a wood burner adding both warmth and charm in equal measure. The south-facing balcony is accessed from here and features a gas BBQ and compact outdoor table, making it a picturesque spot for al fresco meals by the lake. A long glass dining table seats up to eight, while the breakfast bar offers a handy perch beside the contemporary kitchen. Younger guests also have their own bunk bedroom on the first floor, with built-in shelving and a bean bag for two children. The top-floor mezzanine adds a fun finishing touch, with a sofa and TV, a Yamaha keyboard, a Hy-Pro football table, and a selection of books.
Outside, the enclosed waterfront terrace has lounge seating overlooking Howells Mere, providing a tranquil backdrop for evening drinks beneath the stars. One parking space is available at the property, with additional parking available at the main car park.
