Set in a private estate within an extensive nature reserve, this lakeside home offers front-row seats to nature, with all the comforts of modern luxury. There’s space to spread out and unwind, from the open-plan kitchen and cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, to the top-floor master suite with dreamy views. The games room is a hit with little ones and grown-ups alike, and the lakefront deck is perfect for sunset drinks or a morning coffee. You’ll need to be mindful of some nearby construction to other properties within the estate. However, with a heated infinity pool, spa treatments, watersports, woodland trails and tennis courts all available on site, it’s easy to stay in holiday mode. This is Dorset lakeside living at its best.

About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books. It’s fair to say that not too much has changed...
