In an elegant pocket of the Cotswolds lies this lakeside charming villa – a real find for those who like their homes with a generous helping of natural daylight. The floor-to-ceiling windows cover three levels, so even when you're not out on one of the many terraces dining alfresco or enjoying a glass of wine with the lake as your backdrop, you'll feel like you're under the sun. Families will love it here, with bunk beds and a playroom keeping younger guests busy. The home's location in the Lower Mill Estate means you'll have access to two shared heated swimming pools, playgrounds, soft play, tennis courts, a 3G multi-use games area, and a spa (we recommend booking treatments in advance). Further afield, nearby Cirencester is dotted with historic pubs and charming country boutiques and is just twenty minutes by car. Or for something a little nearer, you'll find the picturesque swimming lagoons and sandy beaches of Cotswolds Country Park are just a five-minute drive away.
